    Abstract Health care professionals and consumers often use online drug information compendia, which are intended to be user-friendly, readily available, accurate, and up-to-date. While these resources can be valuable, it has been shown that some compendia contain inaccuracies and outdated information, motivating the Medical Services (medical information) Department at Purdue Pharma LP to implement a periodic, standardized review of select online drug information compendia. Monographs within compendia for up to 9 Purdue products were reviewed and compared to their current Full Prescribing Information, with a focus on identifying safety-related misinformation. Content correction requests for nearly 1000 errors were submitted to 7 compendia clinical editors. This surprisingly large number of errors highlights the need for compendia to better maintain accurate product monographs, as well as for pharmaceutical companies to proactively and periodically review them for misinformation. Based on these findings, an overview on how the pharmaceutical industry may implement a drug information compendia review process is provided.

  3. Article: Caveat emptor: Erroneous safety information about opioids in online drug-information compendia.

    Abstract: ... Methods: Between 2011 and 2013, drug summaries for Purdue's prescription opioid analgesic products ...

    Abstract Background: Healthcare professionals and consumers refer to online drug-information compendia (eg, Epocrates and WebMD) to learn about prescription medications, including opioid analgesics. With the significant risks associated with opioids, including abuse, misuse, and addiction, any of which can result in life-threatening overdose, it is important for those seeking information from online compendia to have access to current, accurate, and complete drug information to help support clinical treatment decisions. Although compendia are informative, readily available, and user friendly, studies have shown that they may contain errors.
    Objective: To review and identify misinformation in drug summaries of online drug-information compendia for selected opioid analgesic products and submit content corrections to the respective editors.
    Methods: Between 2011 and 2013, drug summaries for Purdue's prescription opioid analgesic products from seven leading online drug-information compendia were systematically reviewed, and the requests for corrections were retrospectively categorized and classified. At least 2 months following requests, the same compendia were then reexamined to assess the degree of error resolution.
    Results: A total of 859 errors were identified, with the greatest percentage in Safety and Patient Education categories. Across the seven compendia, the complete or partial resolution of errors was 34 percent; therefore, nearly two thirds of the identified errors remain.
    Conclusion: The results of this analysis, consistent with past studies, demonstrate that online drug-information compendia may contain inaccurate information. Healthcare professionals and consumers must be informed of potential misinformation so they may consider using multiple resources to obtain accurate and current drug information, thereby helping to ensure safer use of prescription medications, such as opioids.

    Abstract: ... proposed and supported by the respective product's FPI.: Results: Across the 270 drug summaries reviewed ...

    Abstract Background: Online drug information compendia (ODIC) are valuable tools that health care professionals (HCPs) and consumers use to educate themselves on pharmaceutical products. Research suggests that these resources, although informative and easily accessible, may contain misinformation, posing risk for product misuse and patient harm.
    Objective: Evaluate drug summaries within ODIC for accuracy and completeness and identify product-specific misinformation.
    Methods: Between August 2014 and January 2015, medical information (MI) specialists from 11 pharmaceutical/biotechnology companies systematically evaluated 270 drug summaries within 5 commonly used ODIC for misinformation. Using a standardized approach, errors were identified; classified as inaccurate, incomplete, or omitted; and categorized per sections of the Full Prescribing Information (FPI). On review of each drug summary, content-correction requests were proposed and supported by the respective product's FPI.
    Results: Across the 270 drug summaries reviewed within the 5 compendia, the median of the total number of errors identified was 782, with the greatest number of errors occurring in the categories of Dosage and Administration, Patient Education, and Warnings and Precautions. The majority of errors were classified as incomplete, followed by inaccurate and omitted.
    Conclusion: This analysis demonstrates that ODIC may contain misinformation. HCPs and consumers should be aware of the potential for misinformation and consider more than 1 drug information resource, including the FPI and Medication Guide as well as pharmaceutical/biotechnology companies' MI departments, to obtain unbiased, accurate, and complete product-specific drug information to help support the safe and effective use of prescription drug products.
