Customer Reviews

Helpful...
This has helped me so much during my pharmacology degree, and i recommend it highly to anybody studying a medical related degree. The layout is very easy to understand and read, and it explains everything in nice, clear terms. The book is exactly what is says it is, with no padding of the text but enough explanatory information so it's easy to understand!

Grouping of conditions makes it very easy to revise for exams on specific subjects without having to root through huge amounts of textbook to find the certain drugs that are needed.

Definitely a must have for pharmacology students, and students on related degrees. If the medical students like it so much, so should we!

The only problem i have is how flimsy it is!

Go for it - if you deal with patients - you need it !!
Not a bedside book - but essential for anyone who deals with people and their medications. Cheap for the information it carries .

Invaluable for the patient
I can't recommend this gem of a reference book highly enough. An essential purchase for patients wishing to play a full part in their treatment.

Not cheap I grant you but nonetheless an invaluable purchase. If it's good enough for the medical profession then it's good enough for the inquiring patient or carer. Some of the medical terminology takes some getting used to but the effort is soon repaid in full.
