Interesting; when i want a quick summary of the pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics of a drug, i usually go first to the US prescribing information(PI) than the Brit Summary of Product Characteristics (SPC)- the PI is much more detailed. But that Epocrates information really is a bit too minimalist

But the real scary part is the descriptionFloat.
