As a pharmacist, I regard this reference as one of the best. The drug information as well as the reference charts at the end of the book are complete, yet succinct. I use this resource daily.
Excellent nutshell book. organized by generic name, with common brands listed, and cross indexed to generic name in the text if you look up brand name. many comparative tables in appendix simplify comparisons. not complete drug info, but very good rapidly retrivable basic info. quite current.
One of the best references available--recommended by pharmacy schools. Dense information per unit space. Drugs are listed alphabetically by generic name. To those who criticize this organization because of their lack of familiarity with generic names: It is a necessary compromise for manageable volume. Other inexpensive references can provide cross referencing between brand and generic names. The Drug Information Handbook gives some of the best summaries of indications, adverse reactions, drug interactions, available dosage forms, and dosing information for health care professsionals--far superior to the information in the more commonly used PDR. Medical professionals should consider using the former in place of the latter. The only criticism I have is the relatively sparse information on combination products--again, however, an understandable compromise for manageable volume.
THIS IS AN AWESOME BOOK FOR PRACTICING DENTISTS. IT'S SMALL, EASY TO USE AND VERY VALUABLE. LOOK UP NEW DRUGS THAT YOUR PATIENTS, FRIENDS AND RELATIVES ARE TAKING. THERE'S TON OF INFORMATION IN THIS BOOK; YOU HAVE TO HAVE IT IN TODAY'S PRACTICE.Quick reference to over 4,500 dental and medical drugs, including local anesthesia and effects on dental treatment. Includes 60 new drug monographs, FDA pregnancy categories, and prescription examples.
I can't recommend this drug book highly enough. While having all the nice features of lab values, chemotherapy protocols, vaccinations, skin testing, etc., it also has a bonus feature of listing Canadian and Mexican drug names. This is a very resourceful book for both new and experienced MTs.
