A pocket-sized guide to the most commonly prescribed drugs.
Building on the success and popularity of the first edition, Pocket Prescriber 2007-8 has been fully updated to incorporate new drugs, to remove drugs no longer on the market and to reflect recent changes in dosages and prescribing practice. It fills a niche by providing the most essential clinical pharmacology information that busy clinicians need at their fingertips - by focusing on the 500 key drugs that are most commonly prescribed, in an A to Z listing, the book avoids overwhelming the reader with information and remains user-friendly. Information provided includes dosages, indications, contraindications, side-effects and interactions.

An important section of the book deals with commonly-encountered prescribing problems, selection issues where there are many similar drugs to choose from (such as antibiotics and antihypertensives), and guidance on coping with a wide variety of emergency situations (such as anaphylaxis and overdoses).

Principally aimed at junior doctors, the book is also an invaluable and accessible revision aid for medical students.
