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.
