Reference Librarian comments
You did a fine job. You probably found enough literature on the
subject. You might be able to tease out a little more by expanding
the search to include other Oxazoles, but I'd only do that if I were
not finding enough on your specific drug. It was interesting to
search this drug in the new "Clinical Pharmacology Online" resource.
I'll put the Zolmitriptan record at the end of this message. A
medical reference librarian would find more and more, using the
EMBASE Pharmacology database. So, always feel free to ask for help.
