Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is the best book I have ever seen on drugs. I came here to Amazon to buy the latest revision, only to be very disappointed to see that it has not been revised.
Many of the other drug manuals I have seen lack some information, like what dosage levels are generally prescribed for what conditions, or they lump all drugs in a category together, like non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Not so this book! For every drug, you get the following information: general info, drug group, overdose danger rating, dependence rating, prescription needed, available as a generic, frequency and timing of dose, adult dosage range for various conditions, onset of effect, duration of action, diet advice, storage, what to do if you miss a dose, advice on stopping the drug, overdose actions, drug interactions, possible adverse effects, advice on prolonged used, and special precautions if you are pregnant, breast feeding, over 60, driving or doing hazardous work, drink alcohol, and precautions for infants a children.
We have other books, but always use this one for the drugs it lists. Unfortunately, since it was published in 1988, there are more and more drugs not in this book.
