Customer Reviews

Just what I needed.

I have always found Saunders Pharmaceutical Word Book to be the best for helping me research new drugs as a medical transcriptionist. Excellent resource!

Saunders Drug Book

The book is a very, very good reference for my job as a medical transcriptionist.

Excellent drug reference for Medical Transcriptionists

This book has everything. I know that after I check my other resources, the internet, and this book, then the drug will not be found with the description provided and I know I can leave a blank without fear of being accused of doing an incomplete job. Other transcriptionists that I have worked with highly recommended this book before I bought it so I already knew I was getting the best. I cannot wait until the 2007 version comes out on CD ROM.

A must have for Medical Transcriptionists

The Saunders Pharmaceutical Word Book, 2002 is a must have for every medical transcriptionist. Its the only pharmaceutical book I trust. It has the most up-to-date drug information available. Tired of searching the internet for those newer drug names you just cannot find? Well with this drug book you can end those days. This book is one of very few that really is updated yearly with the new drug names and information. ...Its comprehensive and very easy to use. Its the one reference book I make sure to get yearly.
