Continues to be a great resource for the pharmacotherapy of over-the-counter drugs. A few areas of practice have changed somewhat since the last publication of this book in 2011, among which this book includes are:⢠Vaccine information⢠Availability of new Advil film-coated tablets, a potentially faster-acting version than standard ibuprofen propionic acid tablets⢠Safety labeling changes to PPIs regarding concomitant use with methotrexate sodium for injection⢠Inclusion of current pregnancy risk categories for drugs and some natural products, where appropriate⢠Inclusion of references for exclusions for self-treatmentThere are several other updates as well that are discussed in the book's preface. This book also has the most up-to-date product availability information, whereas the 17th edition includes some products that are no longer recommended or are no longer on the market.
I don't think there is a better reference for OTC care. However, I believe this product and its information may be available electronically. If so, the electronic version would be more practical for real life use. It is definitely worth the money for physicians and pharmacists.
Essential for both student and practicing pharmacists. Well worth the price.
Have already used a lot, thank you so much!
The material in this book is wonderful. Excellent layout, very informative and easy to follow. The condition of the book was okay though and I am very displeased with the appearance of it. I bought it new but there were several tears in the cover along with bend marks on the hardcover. On the inside there are brown dots everywhere and it looks dirty. This tells me that it couldn't have been with the shipping. Since I bought the book new I would have liked to have the condition of the book new.
Everything went ok.
good book but too much details I wish If I can return it
