The weekly update includes new information obtained through the FDA Structured Product Labels sent to the National Library of Medicine (NLM) DailyMed Web site, including NDCs (National Drug Codes) for existing products, or information about newly approved drugs, as well as appropriate RxNorm forms for new drugs. Other sources of information, such as suggestions from the Center for Medicaid & Medicare Services, product announcements, and other public information may also be used to create new forms and add attributes of clinical drug products. Weekly releases will, in general, include any information received by the preceding Friday.

As with the other Sensors, Gene Sensor will evolve over time and is being phased in, so all users will not see it initially. Fri, 12 Dec 2008 07:40:31 EST
