Not all that pleased with this book. It has discussions of most drugs in common use but does not discuss dosages at all. Information on dosages was one of my reasons for wanting a new reference book on medications. Why this is omitted is unclear. It has a section for each medication with "dosage" in the title, but it provides no information on actual milligrams recommended, just says things like "take once a day" etc.
I have had an Old 2005 copy of "Complete Guide to Prescription and Non Prescription Drugs" in my home for years. It has been an invaluable guide. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis, and some of the Meds I take are scary indeed. That Medical Guide was a good place to go to find out what my meds interacted with, what were the signs of a bad reaction.....just good advice that helped me avoid any issues.That said.......medical treatment for R.A. has moved into the new medical field of biological drugs. They are miracles, but the side effects can be dangerous. They do lower your immune system's ability to fight disease, but the relief they give to pain, and the mobility they restore are also wonderful. The New Issue does not discuss biological drugs. There is a brief discussion, but the individual types are not broken down. Until biological drugs, and other new medical advances are added to the book, I would not recommend buying. I feel it is a matter of time until that is done, and then.............It is a most helpful book to have in your home.
I expected to get a book that had a complete listing of all drugs from A-Z, with a normal index with additional info. This book makes it very difficult to look up an RX drug. They list the drugs in a funky category & if you don't know what type/classification it is, Well then. GOOD LUCK FINDING WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR. THIS WAS A TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY.
this product met all of my expectations and surpassed them. the item is quality personified and would definitely do business again!
I bought this for a friend in her 80's who was using an outdated book from the 1990's!!!!! Needless to say she is like a kid in a candy store! There is SO MUCH information in this book. I found it easy to navigate.
Has good information I have trouble looking up certan drugs on the Kindell just haven used it very much there has to be a way to quickly look for a certain medicaion
I am a nursing student and needed a good drug book for my pharmacology and medical/surgical classes however, the information in this book is poorly organized and the drugs are hard to find. I have seen other Nursing student drug books and they are much more organized and easy to ready and follow.
Informative, better than expected.
