Customer Reviews

My teacher recommended this to me for medical transcription.

My teacher is a medical transcriptionist, and this is the book she recommended. I looked at half a dozen other books (all of which cost more than this one, I believe), and Quick Look really is the best for a medical transcriptionist, in my opinion. It was the only one I could find that listed medications by condition in a well-organized format. It also has some good information in the appendices. I highly recommend this book for medical transcription.

Quick Look Drug Book 2008

I have bought this drug book for years and years as I have used it in my job as a medical transcriptionist and found it to be the best drug book around. I also use it at home.

The BEST drug book out there!

I'm a former Saunder's fan, but when I saw this book I knew I had to have it! Being a new MT, it is helpful that the drugs listed also list their 'sound alike' names, as well as giving you an appendix in the back with diseases and drugs prescribed for them accordingly! :) It's an awesome book, and I'm a loyal Quick Look Drug Book fan! You won't be disappointed with your purchase.

Quick Look Drug Book review

This is the best Quick Look Drug Book yet. I use it constantly. I definitely recommend the book if you are in the medical field (especially a transcriptionist).

Excellent resource

As a Medical Transcriptionist I find this book to be an invaluable tool. I use this book not only to find the correct spelling of the drugs but also to find drug usages, doseages, generics, and brand names. I especially like the indication/therapeutic category index. Many times it is difficult to determine exactly what a physician is dictating. I can go to the back, find the illness being treated, and most of the time locate the drug that the doctor has dictated. This book is very comprehensive, up-to-date, and very easy to use. It is the book that I refer to most.
