RxFiles is an academic detailing program providing objective, comparative drug information to clinicians. This resource is a practical tool for evidence-based and clinically relevant drug use information throughout Canada, serving health providers and educators through newsletter reviews, Q&As, Trial Summaries, and up-to-date drug comparison charts.
