Review

"...a handy preliminary reference." Armand Lione, Reproductive Toxicology

"...this book would be useful to physicians and scientists concerned about the side effects of drugs prescribed to patients, and curious about their mode of interaction with the male and female reproductive and sexual functions." Claude Gagnon MSc, PhD, Annals RCPSC

"...this is a well researched and rather complete handbook that a wide range of clinicians will find a useful reference for patients with reproductive concerns during medical treatment. I suspect it will turn up on the shelves of family doctors and reproductive endocrinologists alike." Eric A. Widra, Fertility and Sterility
