PDR is continuing to go south. The Pages decrease every year as more and more drugs go generic. Generic drugs get lackluster coverage. As I said last year, NEVER pay full price last year. Even Nurses I know don't think this a good resource. Sources like Lippincott and the Internet easily trump this book. I like it simply because the Doctors have it and I got it cheap but don't pay much!
I purchased the 2012 PDR for my wife for looking up information on drugs for her pharmacology class. There is no index listing by brand and generic names of drugs with the manufacturer listed. She needs to look up the manufacturer name on the internet in order to find the drug in the PDR. Makes no sense at all. She gave up using the PDR as it was too time-consuming.Physicians' Desk Reference, 66th Edition (Gift box) (Physicians' Desk Reference (Bookstore Version))
Needs to be made more user friendly. Start with an index which both the brand and generic name. It makes a good chair booster.
I was under the impression this would have more drugs in it. Not the case. I have been using Micromedix for a while and wanted a book instead. Was a mistake, if you have not heard of micromedix, check it out. They have an app and it is fairly comprehensive. My girl friend is attending school to be a nurse anesthetist and did not find this book to be all that great (granted not really relating fields). I am currently attending school to be a Clinical Psychologist with a concentration in Neuropsychology, the book has been ok for me.
Massive amounts of information on medications, side effects, treatments, diagnosis, etc. Not generally a readable book unless you need know about something specific. This is certainly a large reference book that should be in every preppers collection.
Being a nurse I find this book very helpful in reviewing the doses and side effects of medications. It also has everything you need to know about all the medications on the market today, for that year.
It couldn't be any better, I love to read all about my doctor's prescription before I buy them, it makes me feel more secure about what I'm taking and all the side effects. Very good way to get knowledge of medications.Thanks to the seller, I got it before I expexted and I got it in perfect conditions.
It is a little more in depth than I needed but it will work. I wish I would have gotten the nurses' version.
