Drug Information Handbook
Excellent nutshell book. organized by generic name, with common brands listed, and cross indexed to generic name in the text if you look up brand name.many comparative tables in appendix simplify comparisons.not complete drug info, but very good rapidly retrivable basic info. quite current.

A pharmacist's opinion
One of the best references available--recommended by pharmacy schools.Dense information per unit space.Drugs are listed alphabetically by generic name.To those who criticize this organization because of their lack of familiarity with generic names: It is a necessary compromise for manageable volume. Other inexpensive references can provide cross referencing between brand and generic names.The Drug Information Handbook gives some of the best summaries of indications, adverse reactions, drug interactions, available dosage forms, and dosing information for health care professsionals--far superior to the information in the more commonly used PDR.Medical professionals should consider using the former in place of the latter.The only criticism I have is the relatively sparse information on combination products--again, however, an understandable compromise for manageable volume.

Difficult to use
This book is comprehensive with alot of good information; however, the medications are listed by generic name only. I have found it very frusterating in the clinical setting.I would suggest the authors at least include an index of both generic and trade names to make it more user-friendly.

Product Description
This fully revised new edition covers the range of neuropsychiatric syndromes associated with stroke, including cognitive, emotional and behavioural disorders such as depression, anxiety and psychosis. Since the last edition there has been an explosion of published literature on this topic and the book provides a comprehensive, systematic and cohesive review of this new material. There is growing recognition among a wide range of clinicians and allied healthcare staff that post-stroke neuropsychiatric syndromes are common and serious. Such complications can have a negative impact on recovery and even survival; however, there is now evidence suggesting that pre-emptive therapeutic intervention in high risk patient groups can prevent the initial onset of the conditions. This opportunity for primary prevention marks a huge advance in the management of this patient population. This book should be read by all those involved in the care of stroke patients, including psychiatrists, neurologists, rehabilitation specialists and nurses. ... Read more
