    Help - CDs

    Hi

    Can anyone help me or point me in the right direction? I've been given a small project to do in order to help me learn about schedule 3 controlled drugs. This is what I have to cover:
    Class of drugs
    Action and uses of drug
    Legal prescribing aspects
    Legal supply aspects
    Misuse or drugs where applicable
    Dependence of drugs where applicable

    Apart from the MEP, does anyone know of any useful websites especially to do with the actions and uses of drugs? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Many thanks

    'Action and uses of drug'
    You do not need to know the complete pharmacology of a med:
    1) Which therapeutic class does it belong to: ie hypnotic, sedative, analgesic .. all given by section of the BNF.
    2) These would predicate the uses. Ie Hypnotic to aid sleep etc
