On the Web, many documents regarding the proper use of prescription drugs are available to medical professionals and to the public but such documents are difficult to use since they are scattered throughout the Web. In an attempt to solve this problem, we created a support system that provides easier access to drug information relating to proper use by integrating Web documents containing it. The selected documents were as follows: package inserts for prescription drugs, interview forms (supplementary information on package inserts), summaries of product information, summaries of new drug applications, Kusuri-no-Shiori (drug information sheets), pharmacologically similar drugs, generic drugs, and the Merck Manual. Instead of providing a drug information database, our system lists the URLs of the Web sites (of their top and subsequent pages) that the documents are provided on. The URLs are listed in a table on the top page of our system's website, and in a sub-window there is a retrieval procedure guide. This enables users to perform document searches more efficiently and easily. This system enables comprehensive searches of drug information relating to proper use as well as those on pharmacologically similar drugs, generic drugs and drug therapy to be conducted with ease.
