Most Australian software packages use MIMS for exactly that purpose.
My main criticism of it is that it is purely brand oriented without offering 
any generic information - but yes, those subscribing to MIMS get up to date 
and complete prescribing information as supplied both by the public health 
system (PBS data) and the drug manufacturers, including a fairly 
comprehensive interactions database
