There are a few I can recommend. One is Langenscheidt's Portuguese-English dictionary (the mini one cause it fits in the back pocket). Another is the joint venture between Barnes & Noble and Langenscheidt which has many more entries and has newer entries too (downside, it's thick and just shy of being able to fit it in your back pocket). The one Brazilians will recommend is the Aurelio dictionary. Supposedly the most thorough in existence.

i'm not sure about those drugs and whether or not they interact badly but if you call your local pharmacy they usually are more than happy to answer any questions you have. the two that i find are the most patient and willing to answer questions are CVS and walgreens. they usually know their stuff. also, most prescription drugs have websites where you can read up on the medications you are using. sorry i didn't have the answer but hope this helps anyway

Your local library likely has a copy of The Physicians Desk Reference, commonly known as the PDR. The PDR contains all the information you are seeking and specifics on drugs within each class.  Good luck.

Hm, I looked it up on acronym finder and all I got was Digital Orthophoto Map Database! It did say that it was used under science, technology, and medicine though..

Never heard of "horny goat" but earlier today I came across a website that lists herbs and what they are used for.  Runs a search for "medicinal plants".  When the next screen comes up, scroll down to #5. Medicinal Plants list, click on this and you should arrive at what I'm talking about.  The website starts with "world.std.com"

Try looking on WebMD.com or doing a Google search.  Just put in the words you are looking for.  Something should come up.

We get some of our meds from Canada.  You need a prescription from your local doctor.

international meds need to be picked carefully. the u.s. government, no doubt wants to make their money, but at the same time they want to keep you safe. not to mention the fact that a lot of the drugs on the market today  are only there to counteract the side affects of the drugs that you are already taking. if you are comfortable taking foreign drugs, then i believe you should be able to. at the same time though, do you really need these drugs?

I would try www.pdrhealth.com  It is the website for the physicians desk reference which describes drugs (of all types) and lists their contraindications.

Try this website   http://www.rci.rutgers.edu/~lwh/drugs/types.htm\nUses will be different that just being able to identify them\nRemember that some drugs are used for different things.  Such as Antidepressants for pain management.

Look it up.  Use a dictionary.

Since you want anything, I will direct you to this Wikpedia site I found that lists terminology.  It has a lot of information about different terms.

your local pharmacy should be able to help you.  they would have names of manufacturers for the products they sell and one of them should be able to help you even if it means special ordering it.
