A physician from the emergency department contacts the hospital pharmacist about a patient visiting from the United States who has taken an apparent overdose of an unidentified tablet. The physician has one of the tablets and is able to provide a description as well as information about the markings on the tablet. The most appropriate reference for the pharmacist to consult in order to identify the tablet is:

Medline.
RxFiles.
Micromedex.
Drug Product Database.

The correct answer is: Micromedex.

The most appropriate reference for the pharmacist to consult is Micromedex, because it is a clinical decision support resource that provides comprehensive information on drug identification, interactions, and dosing. Medline would not be the best choice as it is a medical literature database, rather than a drug identification resource. RxFiles is more focused on providing information for medication management and prescribing, and Drug Product Database primarily lists health products authorized for sale in Canada. Therefore, Micromedex is the best option for identifying the unknown tablet in this situation.
