RxList--The Internet drug index
http://www.rxlist.com/
There are two aspects of this drug information site that make it
distinctively useful: first, it uses fuzzy logic as well as wildcard
searching, just in case your spelling of long chemical names is imperfect;
second, it's free. Don't let the simplicity of the search form fool you;
while the searching is easy, it's also powerful. Search results come in the
form of a listing of brand name, generic name, and category; more
information on many of the drugs in the database, and on all of the 200
most frequently prescribed drugs in America, is available through links in
the search results listing. The interactions database is particularly
useful, since it can either search for interactions among categories of
drugs or between a particular drug (that the user enters) and all of the
200 most frequently prescribed drugs at once (this search uses the Alta
Vista search engine to generate results). Users may also display these most
frequently prescribed drugs as an alphabetical or ranked list.

Scheint gut zu sein und soll "niemals" kostenpflichtig werden, wie mir
Neil Sandow (Schoepfer dieses "Internet Drug Index") versicherte.
Herzliche Gruesse
