- Fully illustrated chapters explain how 80 principal classes of drug are used and how they work in the body
- Information on 285 generic drugs detailing their adverse effects, interactions, special precautions, and effects of prolonged use
- A Drug Finder index including more than 3,000 drugs (including generic names and brand names) available on prescription or over-the-counter
- Updated information in this new edition was reviewed by experts and updated to reflect currently available drugs, their uses, potential side effects, and precautions
- The latest information on vaccination, vitamins, and minerals, and drugs of abuse

Have you ever wondered about the medication that you are taking or if it's right for you? Or if you should try the latest on the market? This reference guide explores how medicines work, what they treat, and developments in medication. Once you've worked through these pages, you'll have a complete understanding of major drug groups; their benefits, and their side effects.

With accessible text and an easy-to-navigate format, explore dosage, possible interactions with other medicines, and allergies to certain medicine types. It also provides expert tips and advice on what to do if you miss a dose or ingest too much - plus how medicines target specific ailments and areas in the body.

Although this reference is invaluable to healthcare professionals, its concise and jargon-free text will benefit anybody taking medication or wanting to know more about the drugs used in common medical practice.

I purchased this book to replace an older version of this book which had 500 plus less drug information in.It's very comprehensive and I and my wife are very happy with our purchase.

Not fully indulged yet but from a brief look see it's set out beautifully, clear and detailed. I definitely think it will provide the groundwork I need to be able to expand on for my pharmacy technician course.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Good, Interesting, Helpful for students

The media could not be loaded. As a healthcare uni student, this book provides a good insight to drugs and the type of drugs. Has lots of useful information about administering drugs etc.Will become useful when I go into placement and for theory use.

Not sure I want to keep this book

M.M. · 6 September 2022

Product came damaged which was my first annoyance. Once I skimmed through the book I was surprised that some of the brand names were incomplete for example sertraline the brand name Zoloft wasn’t even an option next to it which kinda surprised me since I work in the pharmacy and figured it would be up there. Made me curious to see if it was like that for other medications and it actually was. For this to be published in 2021 I was surprised and not sure if I would want to keep the book
