Quotes, Reviews or Testimonials

"This book contains very useful information and, in fact, I use a larger version of it in clinical practice that is easier to read. The best aspect of the book, and what I use it for most, is the information on drug dosages for specific illnesses. It is hard to remember all the doses and this book is a helpful reference. The contraindications are also very useful."

-- Carol Agana, MNSc, RNP, APRN (University of Arkansas)Doody's Review - previous edition

"This is a necessary reference for any healthcare provider who prescribes medications. It is not intended to replace other references, but the black box warnings and the safety profiles are valuable. In addition to being of use to the intended audience, this book also could be helpful at the nursing station of each hospital floor as a reference for RNs for medication reconciliation and monitoring patients for adverse drug reactions, contraindications, and interactions. It is the best reference of its type on the market today."
