Disappointed

I AM very disappointed ! I am pretty sure I ordered the 3rd edition and received the 1st which is copyright 1998... very disappointed (Not the book pictured)

An essential medical reference.

The second edition of the PDR for Herbal Medicines has been fully revised and updated, providing and latest scientific data in a concise herbal reference. New information and studies are aimed at practicing physicians and monographs have been updated to include the latest scientific findings and clinical trails, case reports and analysis reports. An essential medical reference.

PDR for Herbal Medicines

This second edition is the most up-to-date and comprehensive reference on herbal products. It goes well beyond other books on herbal medicines. It has a list of marketed herbal products with their brand names. It gives doctors latest research data from primary medical literature, such as Lancet, BMJ. I would strongly recommend other healthcare professionals to buy this reference book to answer patient's questions.

PDR for Herbal Medicines

I just received this book. I'm a family physician and I get lot of questions about herbal products. This is the most comprehensive and up-to-date reference source on herbal medicines. I found infromation on new interactions between St. John Wort and cyclosporine, AIDS drugs, and others. I would strongly recommend other physicians to get this book.

This is just what I've been waiting for!

As a family practice physician, I see many patients that are asking about herbal supplements. For all my drug information needs, I go to the PDR. I've been using PDR for Herbal Medicine for the past couple of months, whenever I get questions from my patients. I think every primary care physician should have this valuable resource.
