I've used several drug references and have settled on two for daily use. First is Saunders for its coverage of the drugs I use, including off-label use of human drugs, without a lot of extraneous details. The problem with Plumb's is that it contains every anecdotal usage ever written up. This makes for a very bulky reference. Unless you have a copy that's been well-tabbed with post-it notes and the useful doses highlighted, Plumb's is more weight than it's worth for me. The other is The North American Companion Animal Formulary. It's condensed, fits into my jacket pocket, and has an excellent index of trade names to generic names as well as a quick index of applicable drugs for a number of conditions.
Great Drug Cross Reference book......I use it all the time to better explain to clients side effects and what to expect.
It got here fairly fast, was in good condition and had the original CD in the original packaging. I got a used one. The CD works and is really a cool option. It is like 3 versions old but I knew that when I ordered it I don't feel like there have been all that many changes except for the addition of more medications. I got it as a reference book for veterinary school and so far, it has been useful. It's compact enough to carry around or keep at my desk at school and it's easy to use.
This formulary is very easy to reference and has great information concerning side effects, drug interactions and compounding information. Papich was one of my professors so I purchased this book when I graduated in 08. It quickly replaced the Plumb formulary at the clinic I worked in and became the choice of the older clinician I worked for as well. A must have for any hospital.
I personally liked the plump book better.
