This is one of the best books we've ever purchased. It is so helpful. We've already used it 3 times and every time has been so enlightening. This book will be on our library shelf for quick finding. So delighted with the material inside.

Libraries catering to the over-50 patron will want it, as will health libraries.

Over a thousand prescription and nonprescription medications are included in The AARP Guide to Pills, which has been fully updated with the latest new information covering side effects, drug interactions, and generics. It appears in full color to offer photos of pills along with basics on what a health care professional should know and advice a patient before prescribing. It's the over-50 adult dependent on many of these listed drugs who will gain the most here, finding this a far easier, quicker reference than other books on the market. Libraries catering to the over-50 patron will want it, as will health libraries.

This is a book everyone should have. Very good information is in book.

Excelent Investment

I am extremely satisfied with my book. It is informative and with the description, etc. of each drug, there is a color photo. It also indicates what medications can cause interactions with your drug. Extremely good investment. I also purchased one for my mother who looked up all of her present medications. :-)
