This is a clearly written, well organized reference. Many patients in my psychotherapy practice are multiple medications both psychotropic and otherwise. The book has all the basic information of the PDR without a lot of the chemical and biochemical information and it is easier to carry. Mosby's can almost always give me a clear description of a drug, its generic and brand names, applications, precautions, adverse effects, interactions, the appropriate dosage and available formulations along with the average cost at time of publication. The only down side is it becomes outdated quickly and you need a new edition about every two years.
The latest (4th) edition has been completely revised (45 new drugs!), and includes all the most commonly prescribed medications, with easy e-access to additional content, such as some pill images and chemotherapy, herbals and less commonly prescribed drugs. Easy to read and to find the information of interest. The formatting helps with ease of use. Very up to date. Recent important drug approvals included. Nice addition to any consumer or health professionals reference shelf!
Lacks some basic information that I feel should be available in a healthcare setting. I feel this would be better used at home than used to reference prescription drugs in a healthcare setting. Vaguely lists drug-drug interactions and their descriptions.
We use the Mosb'y as references in the class. That's the reason I bought this book and its worth it.
The latest edition has been completely revised, with more relevant content than ever before, and easy to use, standardized formatting. Very up to date with common, yet recent, drug approvals included. Nice edition to any reference library!
This is a very good guide for nurses and doctors. The only downside is that the print is a bit too small. The book format could be slightly better. Other than that, it is solid reference point.
I used this in school and now that I am working for pharm. research clinic, this book is very handy to have. I also use it for any personal questions on my husband's medication.
Very useful. I don't mind that it's big to carry around. I used it throughout school and it always came in handy. A lot of information and easy to find definitions.
