 Too many common drugs missing, April 09, 2010
By J. Arnew
|
|
I am very unhappy with this purchase because many common drugs were not listed even when they were in the index. I turned to the page from the index but no drug was found, only as a side effect of another drug. It also doesn't list many of the supplements that people use. I would not recommend this book for this reason.

 Almost Perfect, January 18, 2007
By Ryan R. Hart

An almost perfect book. It lacks a few of the newer drugs, but honestly I don't know how any book could keep up. I like the layout of each drug and especially the part of special dental considerations. I've had the book for a few months and I've only had a couple drugs that were difficult to find due to the generic/brand name discrepencies. It's easy and quick to access.
The one area I would like to see improved is another index categorizing drugs by groups, such as Benzodiazepenes, CCBs, anesthetics, etc. and what general characteristics and precautions each group presents. I think that would make this book perfect in my mind.

Easy!, June 02, 2000

This drug reference is layed out in a simple easy to use pattern. Every office should acquire this book. We just check the index, get the page number, flip to the appropiate page and wham! everything we need is right there. I especially like how the dental considerations are listed seperately. And it's a lot easier to manage than the huge PDR. It makes life much easier!
