Handbook on Injectable Drugs

Nearly every field has its touchstone.

In the ever-changing, data-intense, split-second decision world of parenteral drugs, that touchstone, that premier resource, is the Handbook on Injectable Drugs, 16th Edition.

It is the leading injectable drug guide, trusted, turned to and touted the world over for its intuitive, easy to use layout, and its accessible organization and presentation of data.

The 16th edition of the Handbook on Injectable Drugs brings together a wealth of information on 349 parenteral drugs commercially available in the United States and in other countries.

Compatibility, stability, storage and preparation data for each have been painstakingly referenced and clearly presented. There are 64 new references, for a total of 2,788.

Once again, the book is edited by Lawrence A. Trissel, FASHP, as has been the case for over 30 years of continuous publication. And once again, Mr. Trissel and the Handbook on Injectable Drugs set the standard for comprehensiveness, speed, and trustworthiness.

The Handbook is also available in a CD-ROM format, which can be bought as a package with the print version. The CD allows you to screen up to five drugs/solutions for compatibility simultaneously, access original research through PubMed, and search concise table summaries of compatibility results.
