IPA (International Pharmaceutical Abstracts) is a bibliographic database containing international coverage of pharmacy and health-related literature in information, the practice of pharmacy, pharmaceutical education, and the legal aspects of pharmacy and drugs. It is produced by the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists and covers 1970 to date. 

International Pharmaceutical Abstracts, available electronically from 1970, from the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, may only index around 800 journal titles but, as its name suggests, it specializes in pharmacy literature from around the world. A study by Bonnie Snow found that 12% of IPA s journals were not covered by MEDLINE, EMBASE, BIOSIS Previews, or Chemical Abstracts. IPA has also indexed ASHP meetings since 1988, meetings of the American Association of College Pharmacists and the American Pharmacy Association. All records have abstracts. 

The International Pharmaceutical Abstracts (Coden IPMAAH ISSN 0020-8264) is published by the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists twice each month, on the 1st and 15th. Its circulation is primarily electronic. The print and electronic subscription rates are available upon request. Internet access to IPA PharmSearch is available at 90 per 100 searches. The editorial and subscription offices are located at 7272 Wisconsin Avenue, Bethesda, Maryland 20814, U.S.A.
