Section 2: Drug Monographs...information on over 300 commonly used drugs listed alphabetically by generic name...plus coverage of adverse effects, interactions, contraindications, length of use, route, dosage, cost, and more!

Chapter 11: A Special Interest Chapter on Drug-Induced Adverse Reactions...gives specific approaches for the treatment of five specific drug-induced adverse reactions.

Question and answer format helps the reader achieve the best outcome with guidelines for prescribing and monitoring the effects of drug therapy on a day-to-day basis.
