Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)If you need a "drug book," this book is HANDS DOWN the best book for any money. It's small--pocket-sized, in fact--but PACKED with information. It is updated yearly. The editor is an MD, chairman of the Department of Emergency Medicine (Drexel U), who obviously knows how to separate the wheat from the chaff.
Drugs are organized by category (e.g. Antibiotics, Analgesics, etc), and then all the most important information is provided, including generic/brand name(s), uses, formulations, dosing, metabolism, relative cost and safety information (e.g. use in pregnancy). There are numerous useful tables throughout the book. At the end, there is an alphabetic index, where brand names are conveniently italicized for quick differentiation from generic names. There's also a blank page or two for notes (good for adding in your own, as new drugs come on the market).
I have been buying and using this book since 1993, and although I used to pay about $8, I still think it's a steal at about $12. The PDR is good for holding doors open or seating little kids at a table. THIS is the book you will carry with you and USE. NO advertising, NO filler. And a little surprise for trivia junkies...every book has a riddle that can snag you a free book the following year if you're among the first to answer it correctly! Are you still reading this? What are you waiting for? GO BUY THE BOOK!
