Search tips:
Check the Controlled Vocabulary list (Authority File) for list of controlled drug
modifiers and definition of content.
Include as many modifiers as appropriate.
BIOSIS provides the most specific modifier.
Use of the link operator between the drug name(s) and the drug modifier/action in
the same sentence. This will eliminate items describing other actions of these
drugs.
Search specific drugs using synonyms, variants, and trade names for complete
retrieval.
