Everything You Need to Know About Drugs

More than 3,000 alphabetically organized drugs in all! Each entry tells the drug brand or generic name, the amount usually prescribed, how to take the drug, what to do about a missed dose, what to do about a suspected overdose, and special warnings. Information on a drug is on one or two pages with the drug brand name shown at the top in large type. Common and serious side effects and interactions are boxed and shaded at the top of each page. A "Keep in mind" logo points to crucial reminders. A "Warnings" logo calls attention to overdose symptoms and more. Includes alternative therapies, a full-color photoguide, a foreword by a doctor from a prestigious medical institution, and a preeminent advisory board.
