Customer Reviews

Indispensible!

A must-have guide for non-medical people working in the medical field (like me). Easy to use reference guide with drugs listed by brand or generic name. Has bailed me out dozens of times when a client has listed a drug on a form but not quite spelled it right. I literally use this guide every day.

perfect for information on drugs

good information on drugs and who should and not be taking them,perfect for me with allergies to sulfur.

Good review of prescription medication for laymen

For people looking for a brief, concise review of their prescription drugs, this book is an excellent resource to go to. Discusses indications, usual dosages, and side effects. Also has a Pill Identification guide for quick identification of medication. Also Recommended: The Pill Book

Great Resource!

I teach a Medical Assistant program and found the language and information in this book extremely helpful for my students. I buy these books regularly and give them as graduation presents when my students complete. The feedback from students is that they have found it invaluable during externship and employment.

Great value!

This reference is awesome, and the price can't be beat. It is loaded with information, and at this price it's a must have for all nurses.
