Wider than MEDLINE, where drug literature actually lives
The Embase biomedical database is the subscription reference that serious pharmacological searching depends on: produced by Elsevier, it gathers millions of records from scientific journals, clinical trials and conference abstracts spanning the mid-twentieth century to the present, and indexes thousands of journals and conferences that MEDLINE does not.
Inside this resource
Coverage MEDLINE misses
Its reach extends beyond MEDLINE to thousands of additional journals and conference proceedings, which is precisely why regulators and systematic reviewers treat searching it as non-negotiable rather than optional.
Conference abstracts in the Embase biomedical database
Congress abstracts are indexed alongside journal articles and clinical trials, capturing findings that are presented long before — and sometimes instead of — full publication.
Seventy years of record
Coverage running from the mid-twentieth century to today means a search can follow a drug or an adverse effect across its entire documented history rather than only its recent literature.
Who this serves
- Systematic reviewers — the second database a rigorous protocol requires alongside MEDLINE.
- Pharmacovigilance teams — adverse-effect literature and conference findings in depth.
- Clinical researchers — trials and abstracts from seventy years of record.
Before you buy
How is it different from MEDLINE?
It offers broader coverage, indexing thousands of journals and conferences that MEDLINE does not, with particular strength in drug literature.
Are conference abstracts included?

Loved by researchers & students
Essential for a proper systematic search. The search syntax takes learning if you only know PubMed, but it is worth the effort.
Searched seventy years of a drug class in one session. Comprehensive.
Our review protocol requires Embase and now I understand why — it returned conference abstracts on an adverse effect that PubMed never showed.
For pharmacovigilance this is the database. Drug literature depth is in a different league.
Broader than MEDLINE as advertised. The extra conference indexing is the real differentiator.
