Customer Reviews

Vast coverage

I'm a nursing student and highly recommend this book. It does a great job of covering drugs, their uses, their profiles and just about everything else you want to know about a particular medication.

Lexi-Comp's Drug Information handbook for Nursing (2006)

Overall this is an excellent drug information book. However, I was extremely disappointed when I discovered it had an index instead of listing all of the drugs (brand and generic) alphabetically as previous editions had done. The previous format made it very easy to look up drugs, whether you knew the generic or brand name, this, also, made this book very unique.

Lexi-comp's Drug Information Handbook for Nursing

The book was in excellent condition and arrived in a very timely manner. Would strongly recommend to business with this seller.

Excellent for nurses that like accurate, fast information.

This book is the best drug guide I have owned; I have five to current date. There is only one draw back and that is that it can not be downloaded into my head. I am an emergency room nurse; therefore, I need accurate information and I need it fast!
