This volume provides easy-to-find information regarding over 170 drugs used commonly in general practice. It covers the treatments that have been proven appropriate and economical for 90 percent of the patients encountered in practice, with full details on dosages and costs, and with hints on management and diagnosis. Each medication is discussed in its generic form, and newer drugs are included only if they have significant advantages over older, well-tried remedies. In addition, a completely new section gives readers information of the drugs used in caring for the terminally ill. This time-tested guide is written by general practitioners for use by their colleagues, and is also an ideal reference for students and trainees.
