Description The very latest information on adverse drug effects from the international literature, compiled by an international team of experts.
New reports are presented of adverse drug effects, critically analysed in context, in terms of clinical relevance and importance, and
cross-referring to previous reports where necessary. New adverse effects are reported and evaluated, and previously reported adverse
effects are re-evaluated in the light of the most recent information.
Unique features:
Reviews in which selected
adverse effects are discussed in depth.
Two separate indexes enhance the use of the book, allowing the reader to access
information by drug name or by, adverse effects.
