Drugs on the lists can be sorted by brand or generic name, and a new search function allows mobile users to enter full or partial drug names to search for possible matches in the database. The PDA lists are viewable online at http://www.QTdrugs.org/m.

Drugs are listed with up to 2 common brand names. There are several brand names for some of the common drugs, such as pseudoephedrine and erythromycin. It is also important to look at the list of active drugs in medicines that contain a combination of drugs such as Zyrtec-D®, which contains cetirizine and pseudoephedrine.
