What is the Physicians Desk Reference PDR?
The Physicians' Desk Reference (PDR) is a widely used source of drug information by American physicians and patients, but as we shall discuss, it suffers from numerous shortcomings. The PDR is a collection of written and pictorial information that is provided and paid for by pharmaceutical manufacturers.

Within a scholarly paper, information from the PDR is cited inside parentheses. The title is italicized and followed by a comma and the publication year, such as: (Physicians' Desk Reference, 2013). If the information concerns a specific drug, its name inside quotation marks is used instead of the title.
