Doody's Review
"This book is the foremost reference in this area and an incredibly useful reference for pharmacists that practice in a health system or hospital setting. There are other products out there such as UpToDate Lexidrug or King Guide to Parenteral Admixtures, however this volume from ASHP has always stood alone. The usefulness of the book is well known and the familiarity of it allows it to pass from generation to generation of pharmacists. Given that there is new information coming out every single year about updates in drug compatibility, the book justifies its annual updates."
-- Lawrence Carey, BS, PharmD (Temple University School of Pharmacy)
"This book is extremely useful to hospital pharmacists. The best aspect is the ability to look up a drug alphabetically and find out immediately what the compatibility parameters are. The book does not contain flowery writing -- just facts that are incredibly helpful to hospital pharmacists. The format has not changed over the years, so generations of hospital pharmacists have used the same text. What has changed is the volume of information; the 2023 edition includes over 400 drugs with close to 3,800 references. This book is precisely what it is intended to be -- a foundational reference book for sterile compounding within daily pharmacy practice."
-- Lawrence Carey, BS, PharmD (Temple University School of Pharmacy) - Doody's Review - previous edition
"I have been using this book for nearly 20 years, and as a hospital pharmacist, I really can't imagine a department of pharmacy being without it. As the Editorial Review Group Chair in Pharmacy for Doody's, I have selected this as a Doody's Core Title. This is a necessary update - indeed, the publisher states that all previous editions are considered out of date."
-- Patrick McDonnell, PharmD (Temple University School of Pharmacy) Doody's Review - a previous edition
"Any practicing pharmacists who frequently deal with injectable drugs would be hard-pressed to find this amount of information on drug stability/compatibility in one easily retrievable resource without this book. It is the gold standard for this type of information."
-- Christopher Widdick, PharmD Student (Temple University School of Pharmacy) - Doody's Review - previous edition
