I work in two different suburban hospitals and The DI Handbook remains my go-to reference for drug info. My younger colleagues all gravitate toward Micromedex, but I'd rather have this little book than access to any Internet site. Great for quickly finding incidence of side effects, pregnancy category, and available form and manufacturer. Drugs are listed by generic name, but are cross referenced by brand name, e.g. if you look up Zoloft, it says, "See sertraline pg. XX" so it's easy to find just about anything. I have used both the full version and pocket editions. The one I have now also has international trade names which is a big plus. If I had to practice pharmacy on a desert island and could only have one reference, this would be it.
This is a good handbook to have with you for on-the-go look-up of drug information (i.e. on rounds). It is a little larger than pocket size, but is just small enough to fit in the pocket of a white coat. The drug monographs are pretty good, but it is not well-referenced. This is a good place to start, but one should definitely verify the info.
This book is the best compilation of all the most relevant information about each drug that I have found so far. It's very easy to locate what you're looking for since the format is very user friendly. It also has some very handy tables and charts on the back. I have used it a lot in the one month I've had it, and I am very pleased with it. It has been very helpful both for school and during rotations.
This reference book is easy to use, very comprehensive, and a bonus section in the back of the book...treatment guidelines and algorithms. You may need many other references to complete the information contained in the Lexi-Comp Drug Information Handbook. I work in both the hospital and the retail pharmacy environment. This book serves my needs very well.
I've used these books for years as simple, compact drug reference. As a clinical pharmacists, this is a perfect reference for quick drug information when you don't have internet access and it is compact enough to carry along in a lab coat.
received notification of shipment I believe the same day that I placed the order. This handbook is extremely handy for the practitioner that needs a quick, very complete reference to medications.
I have purchased a new copy (or two) of the Drug Information Handbook every year for at least 10 years. Again, the Handbook is a well-organized drug reference that I rely on.
