Background: Although the drug is finished, identifiable, there is no universally accepted standard for naming them. The objective of this work is to evaluate qualitatively the HeTOP drug terminology server by two categories of students: (a) pharmacy students and (b) a control group. Methods: A formal evaluation was built to measure the perception of users about the HeTOP drug server, using the three mains questions about “teaching interest”, “skill interest” (or competence) and “ergonomics”. Results: The three pharmacy student subgroups gave the best and the worst score to the same categories. Conclusion: All three criteria are rated above 6.5 out of 10. The HeTOP drug terminology server is freely available to “non drug” specialists (URL: www.hetop.eu/hetop/drugs/).
