__NOTOC__<br />
<br />
Pharmacopedia is a free, open medical reference. This page points you to the most useful starting places depending on what you are trying to do.<br />
<br />
== If you are new to Pharmacopedia ==<br />
<br />
Start with [[About:Pharmacopedia]] for what this site is, who runs it, and how it is written.<br />
<br />
== Reading the site ==<br />
<br />
Every medicine and problem page in Pharmacopedia is organized for multiple reader audiences. Look for the perspective that matches what you are trying to learn:<br />
<br />
* '''Clinician''' perspective: pharmacology, dosing, monitoring, interactions, and clinical evidence.<br />
* '''Patient''' perspective: what taking the medicine is like, what to expect, what to watch for, what other readers have reported.<br />
* '''Traditional''' perspective: the historical, cultural, and ethnobotanical context of the medicine.<br />
* '''Researcher''' perspective: mechanism details, primary literature, ongoing questions.<br />
<br />
Every non-trivial claim links to a source. Where a citation is not yet available, the page is marked {{citation needed}} rather than left implicit.<br />
<br />
== Creating an account ==<br />
<br />
You can read everything without an account. An account lets you submit proposed edits, complete assessments, build a private medical timeline at [[Special:MyLifeStory]], and submit reader-experience reports on medicines you have taken.<br />
<br />
== Contributing ==<br />
<br />
Pharmacopedia uses a propose-review-approve workflow. Submitted edits are reviewed by a qualified human reviewer before they become visible. If you would like to contribute as an editor, reviewer, or content author, email mark@pharmacopedia.wiki.<br />
<br />
== Reporting an adverse experience ==<br />
<br />
If you have experienced a problem with a medicine, you can submit a reader-experience report on that medicine's page. See [[Pharmacopedia:Adverse Event Reporting]] for what that feature is, what it is not, and where to file an official report with the FDA or your national authority if needed.<br />
<br />
== Medical emergencies ==<br />
<br />
This site is not the place to get help in a medical emergency. If you are in immediate danger, call 911 (United States) or your local emergency services. For overdose or poisoning, call Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222 (United States).<br />
