Customer Reviews

Great Reference!

This book was very informative. I'd definitely recommend it as a family or nursing reference.

Don't Be Home Without It!

No family should be without this book! With all the new medications available today it is almost critical to check for side effects, interactions, proper dosages, usages, etc. I get this book every year, and every year it is so expanded! I take quite a few meds and most of them aren't in the older books, even last years edition! This book is the "Bible" of prescription drugs! It lists brand names, generics, U.S. and Canadian names of all prescription medications, proper dosages, proper storage, and even recommends foods to avoid while taking certain medications. This book may very well save your life one day!
