There is also an electronic version of this book which can be viewed on any modern personal computer. This stand-alone version of the elctronic BNF (eBNF) retains the familiar pocket book form of the BNF on the computer screen, but the Adobetm Acrobattm software used to view the eBNF provides powerful additional facilities. For example, a click on an entry in the contents list or index should immediately provide access to the relevant page. Where a drug interaction warning is given in the text, a click on the word interactions in the text provides instant access to the appropriate drug in the interactions section of the BNF. There are also various ways in which the electronic text can be searched. An electronic adverse reaction form is also available. The annual subscription for the eBNF is to be #199.00 (for two electronic editions) - the price includes AdobetmAcroabttm software.
