I am a med student and find this book very user friendly especially when just getting into pharm. I haven't had a great amount of use with it yet, but it is wonderful in the clinic when you need to look up side effects quickly.
Rating: - Drug review book
I work at a medical facility and new laws say there needs to be a drug reference book available for the nurses. The price was perfect & I recommended this book be bought by all our facilites to be in compliance. The book was very current & had many illistations of pills & medications. I will buy the 2009 book when it comes out for our office.
