MOSBY'S DENTAL DRUG REFERENCE is an inexpensive and convenient book designed to be used chairside in the dental office as a quick, concise drug reference resource. Its purpose is to assist the dentist, dental hygienist, or dental assistant in the rapid identification of drugs that patients may be taking as they present in the dental office. The user-friendly design provides easy access to essential information on drugs patients commonly take to facilitate completion of the medical history review. The book's size is such that it will fit in the pocket of a clinic coat and the soft cover design reduces bulk and weight. Drugs are presented alphabetically by generic name in a succinctly ordered and standardized format with pertinent drug information for the dentist, dental hygienist, or dental assistant. An easy-to-use cross index is the key to using this book for both brand and generic name identification.

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.
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!
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.
This will be so great to use in our clinic. We already use the last edition until it was so beat up! Hurry and send it-
Book is in great condition like the seller descibed. Book is arrived on time. Thanks
