Quotes, Reviews or Testimonials
"I like this book and may use it myself when searching for a specific diagnosis and how to treat it with medication. I have seen no other drug handbook by diagnosis that also includes dosages. I especially like the tables, such as for birth control pills, that make it possible to compare two or more ingredients. Updates of guides like these probably need to be done every three to four years."
-- Carol Agana, MNSc, RNP, APRN (University of Arkansas) Doody's Review - previous edition
"I don't know of a comparable reference in handbook format. This is an excellent tool for providers to look up dosages for a particular medication and, if they do not know which medication to use for a particular condition, they can use it to find several options."
