Description
For twenty years this book, now in its 5th edition, has provided information on adverse drug interactions that is unrivalled in coverage
and scholarship.
Adverse drug reactions, many of them ascribable to interactions with other drugs or with chemical substances in food
or the environment, are thought to cause or complicate one in twenty of hospital admissions.
The book is conveniently divided into
two parts: Part 1 comments on drug interactions and their mechanisms, on a pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic level, while Part 2 consists
of drug interaction tables, divided and subdivided into categories of disorders, and the drugs used in the treatment of these disorders.
If
safety in drugs is to improve, education of prescribers is vitally important. This book, with its up-to-date and coordinated approach,
serves that purpose well. The real threat, as the authors remind us, is the ignorance of practitioners, not the drug itself. The volume
is therefore an essential addition to the shelves of those responsible for the prescription of drugs, in order to prevent a potential
backlash when used in combination with other drugs or chemical substances.
Audience
For the pharmaceutical and general medical industry, clinical pharmacologists and toxicologists.
