Product Description

Review

"The Notes section is very helpful, in many cases summarizing significant studies, allowing pharmacists to cite clinical research results in making recommendations. "Comparison charts are used appropriately and are well labeled, quickly orienting readers to the information being presented. "Information...concise and easily navigated. "Overall this book is an excellent condensed drug information reference for clinical pharmacists. Information is organized and presented in a way that makes it more appropriate for use as a therapeutic decision-making tool than similar references. "This book would be useful addition to the collection of any drug information center, medical library, hospital pharmacy, community pharmacy, or clinical pharmacy practitioner."--American Journal of Pharmaceutical Education (American Journal of Pharmaceutical Education )

Product Description

This handbook, which in its early lustrous years served physicians, pharmacists, and pharmacy students, is unlike any other drug reference book in that it allows readers to compare and contrast various drugs within drug categories, thereby enabling them to make decisions on which drug to administer. All other drug reference books merely repeat the drug manufacturers' literature, with no analysis of that information. Nor are there any reports from the published literature concerning use and efficacy of the drugs listed. The clinical drug information with part II contains chapters on drug induced diseases, drug interactions and interferences, drug use in special populations, immunization, medical emergencies, and nutrition support. There are also appendices that contain useful conversion factors, anthropometrics, and laboratory indices.
