Product Description
A pharmaceutical reference providing readers with access to the correct spelling and capitalization of drug names, their primary designated uses, and usual methods of administration. It describes each drug's uses, forms, generic names and active ingredients, and alerts readers to sound-alike drugs with easy-to-spot icons. Drugs pending approval, as well as recently discontinued drugs which may still appear in dictation are also featured. This edition has been updated and includes 500 new listings of medicinal herbs. It also identifies drug classes, including: quinolones, a class of antibiotics; lazeroids, a class of free-radical scavengers; and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, a class of antidepressants/antipsychotics. The book also features a list of "street drug slang" with cross references to the proper drug name.
