Virtually every physician in the United States uses
the Physicians' Desk Reference (PDR) -- the most widely used compilation of
prescribing information used by physicians. Readership studies indicate that nine
out of ten doctors consider the PDR their most important and most frequently
consulted reference book.
The PDR is an
annual directory of ethical pharmaceutical, biological, and diagnostic products
intended as a service to the medical field.
Significance
of the Listings:
Physicians and health care professionals rely on the
PDR as a source for understanding the many pharmaceutical and
non-pharmaceutical products available. Physicians often recommend or prescribe
a certain product or pharmaceutical based on the validity and reliability of
the descriptions in the PDR. Physicians depend on the fact that the
manufactured product described in the PDR contains the exact amounts and types
of ingredients listed and that the product delivers the precise effects described
therein.
Each year, copies of the PDR are distributed to
approximately a half-million practicing physicians and chief pharmacists at
major hospitals in the United States. In addition, medically sophisticated
consumers, institutions, and other allied health professionals--including
dentists, nurses, veterinarians, hospitals, managed care organizations, and
public and legal libraries--purchase the book, raising the total distribution
to well over one million copies. The PDR includes prescribing information on
over 3,500 products from more than 250 manufacturers.
So, if you speak to
your physician or health care professional and they are unfamiliar with USANA,
have them look the products up in their PDR. Having USANA's products in the
Physicians' Desk Reference offers added credibility to USANA's already solid
standard of quality, reliability, and integrity.
