Well writtenPractical and thoroughExcellent over all review of a relevant topicFor all those prescribing for the elderly

The book was not as I expected. I expected more pharmacology and less of the tabulated information that I can find at the back of any pharmacotherapy book

Great Book. Very helpful

I found this book to be very informative and well written. The author is very well versed in the topic.
