It has all the info you need but there are ones out there that are an easier quick reference. This one you have to scan through multiple paragraphs to get all the quick info. I really dislike the solid binding and really wish one of these publishers would do a spoiral bound so its easier to open and flip through singly handed, I'm a nurse so I clearly don't have 2 free hands
Such a waste of money. No photos of drugs to help identify. 90% of drugs I looked up I couldn't find. Always had to use the internet in order to complete assignment. Studying to become Medication Aide and I purchased the newest volume!!! Total, and I mean TOTAL waste of money.
Missing several common current drugs and also does not include combination products, a worthless resource and I recommend highly against buying this book... as a practitioner I had to buy another resource for my use... totally disappointing.
The layout of this drug reference is perfect. I was able to easily find information I needed which I couldn't do as well in other drug guides. The only thing is I wish there was an e-book of it or app with the purchase of this book but there's not.
This is a great drug reference. The book links with the Evolve website for individual drug monograms in PDF version or even just for access to the book content when you don't have it with you. Best of all it's free with the purchase of the book!
I am a nurse and had an older drug reference book. I have always trusted Mosby's books and reference book including their drug reference. The FDA is changing their black box warnings on many of the drugs I need to reference. I needed the latest information and Mosby's seems to include many pages of the warnings and dangerous side effects on many of the drugs that are commonly used. The book is organized alphabetic and I can find a drug within seconds either by turning the page to the name or by looking in the index. I is amazing how a small book can contain over 1300 pages of such detail and not fall apart.
I needed to buy this book for school. It makes referencing and studying drugs easy. It has all the basics on each drug plus the common drugs have some extra information about. Great buy and works perfect with my class!
Awesome, awesome, awesome book. Use this all the time right now in school and I know I will keep it for when i am in the field. Only thing I would like them to add to this book are pictures of the drugs/pills for identification.
