Review:

"Prospective data collection and references to guidelines and standards make the information in this 37th edition evidence-based and current...This remains the standard reference for international drug product information and is reliable, accurate, and complete." Melissa Ranieri, BS, PharmD, Doody Enterprises Ltd, 7 June 2011 "The clear advantage of Martindale is the synopsis of encyclopedic facts on drugs in a concise form that would otherwise require a long literature and/or data base search. Furthermore, the work contains dosing schemes and other information that cannot be found easily elsewhere...the 37th edition of Martindale is THE standard desk reference providing comprehensive, encyclopedic facts on drugs including global coverage of proprietary products". Chromatographia, July 2011. "This edition...continues the tradition of previous Martindales in providing health professionals with unbiased, evaluated information on drugs used worldwide...Martindale provides information and monographs on herbal medicines, diagnostic agents, radiopharmaceuticals, toxins and poisons, which is unlikely to be included in other pharmaceutical references making it a unique resource...It remains a valuable resource of current, unbiased information on pharmaceuticals for pharmacists and other health professionals." Australian Prescriber 34(6) Dec 2011.
