Very Good Reference for IBD

I got this reference book soon after I was diagnosed to check all the prescriptions that I was bombarded with from my doctor. Based on the Physician's Desk Reference, this guide is the most comprehensive reference on medications and essential for patients with IBD. I've used it probably a hundred times, mostly to prepare for questions about medications for my doctor. It contains a wealth of information on thousands of medications: indications for use, how each drug works, potential side effects, and interactions with other medications. The PDR is also indexed by manufacturer, category, and brand and generic names. It will definately help you gain more control over your medical care. On CCFA's book list

Handy Reference Book on Prescription Drugs

This book condenses all the information from the Physician Desk Reference that doctor's use into an understandable guide for everyday people. I take about 10 different medications at any one time and this guide helped me sort it all out and make sure that I was safely taking my meds. Also has detailed information about potential side effects of hundreds of drugs. A handy reference book.
