    Background: Web-Based Drug Information System (WBDIS) is a computerized system designed to meet the information needs of doctors, pharmacist and clients as well in hospital with respect to drugs. It is a system that provides electronic drug references data in the pharmacology field. WBDIS will provide versatile benefits in terms of granting up-to date, impartial and scientific drug information to medical professionals and the public at large. The doctors and pharmacists always refer to the drug references data in order to know the details about the specific drug data. At the government hospital, the process of finding the drug references data still done in manual way by drug references books. Other than that, the drug references books are outdated. There are no standard drug references systems that can be referred by the doctors and pharmacists. Objective: This project aims to analyze requirements gathered and design of drug information system that is rendered by Drug Information Centers (DIC) at national level. Methods Among various software development life cycle models defined and designed which are followed during software development process, waterfall SDLC model was followed to design and analyze WBDIS. This project carried out within public medical and paramedical professionals and their clients in Federal hospitals located in Addis Ababa. Requirements for the project analysis and design gathered through interview and document review. Tools and Techniques: Word document and Visio diagrams are the tools used to create this document. Use cases and UML diagrams are created to describe the scenarios. Results: Analysis and design documents of WBDIS were the deliverables following the completion of the project, including Software Requirement Specification (SRS) and Software Design Specification (SDS). Conclusion: In this project, I analyzed the current DIS and designed Web-based drug Information System that provides online drug information safely and easily to the health professionals and the public. The system was not only analyzed and designed to provide merely drug information, but was also analyzed and designed in a way that the users is allowed to interact with the system by posting requests and comments. WBDIS have also a separate administration part that helps the system administrator to manage all drugs data, users, drug category, security and user`s request.
