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.

Other sources for stability data could be useful as well, such as the Pharmaceutical Codex [29], Kommentar zur Europaisches Arzneibuch [72] (see Sect. 39.4.8), Martindale [85] (see Sect. 39.2.4), Ophthalmika [86], Coimors [15] and Trissel s Stability of Compounded Formulations [70] (see Sect. 39.4.14). Additional information can be found in Analytical and International Pharmaceutical Abstracts. These can be retrieved by the search engine OvidSP [87]. The German collection DAC-NRF [88] (see Sect. 39.4.2) also provides much information on stability.
