Description
Volume 28 in the series of
Side Effects of Drugs Annuals continues to serve its
primary goal: to provide clinicians and medical investigators with a reliable and critical yearly survey of new data and trends in the
area of Adverse Drug Reactions and Interactions. An international team of specialists has reviewed new data and trends by selecting from
the year's writing all that is truly new and informative, by critically interpreting it, and by pointing to whatever is unproven or misleading.
The use of the book is enhanced by separate indexes, allowing the reader to access the text via drug name, adverse effect, or drug interaction.
The current annual includes an essay by the editor, Dr Jeffrey Aronson, entitled 'Classifying Drug Adverse Reactions in the 21st
Century.' In it he describes how the modern approach to classifying adverse drug reactions takes into account the dose that causes the
reaction, the time-course of the reaction, and the susceptibility factors that increase the individual patient's risk, and shows how
this analysis can facilitate regulatory decision making.
