Question: I found my topic on MEDLINEplus, but I really needed treatment information and there wasn't any listed. Where should I look now?

Answer:

  • If treatment information is not listed for your topic, check the links under "disease management," "rehabilitation" or "clinical trials," or check the "general/overviews" links which may contain treatment information.

  • Check the information in the Medical Encyclopedia or in the Drug Information page.

    • A link to the Medical Encyclopedia is available from the Health Topics page; you will find a link back to the Health Topics page just below the header of every MEDLINEplus page.

    • A link to the Drug Information page is also available just below the header of every MEDLINEplus page.

  • If information is not available for your topic under these subcategories try a MEDLINE search.

    • Follow the link to MEDLINE from the Other Resources page; you will find a link back to the Other Resources page just below the header of every MEDLINEplus page.

  • In the text box type the name of your topic AND therapy, for example:

    • Lyme Disease AND therapy
