Product Description

This is the authoritative guide to prescribing, dispensing and administering medicines for all health care professionals. Nobody working in health care can afford to be without the latest edition of "BNF". Compiled with the advice of clinical experts and continually updated to reflect the latest evidence from all credible sources worldwide, this essential reference provides up-to-date guidance on prescribing, dispensing, administering, and monitoring medicines. Not only does the "BNF" include the widely accepted framework for the drug management of common diseases, it also includes details of medicines prescribed in the UK, with special reference to their uses, cautions, contraindications, side-effects, dosage and relative costs. This allows treatment to be tailored to the individual needs of each patient. Updated in print every six months by an expert team of pharmacists, with guidance and validation from a network of leading clinicians, and oversight by a Joint Formulary Committee with representatives from all spheres of clinical practice. "The BNF" reflects current best practice as well as legal and professional guidelines relating to the use of medicines. As a result it is used widely as a touchstone reference, and cited in Parliaments and courts as a source of authority. This title is available online as part of MedicinesComplete, on PDA and on CD-ROM for intranets.

Customer Reviews

British Natinal Formulary
The book never arrived. Contact with bookseller suggests language problems..
Seller promised another volume by first-class post. Second volume has never arrived. Tried to contact seller again - message could not be sent to the booksellers contact address!!

Outstanding service
I am absolutely delighted with the product and the response time from placing the order to delivery was excellent. I have only words of praise for such an efficient organisation and would highly recommend them to anyone.

the pharmaceutical book the doctors use
This is the latest edition of the BNF (there is a new edition every six months in Sept. and March). It is the pharmaceutical book that all the doctors (GPs, consultants, registrars, etc.)use and is vital for looking up anything prescribed. It not only gives the brand name and generic name of each drug, but also the price to the NHS, as well as dosage, cautions, indications, etc. Excellent for arguing one's case for a different dosage to the one the doctor is trying to talk one into having!
