Synopsis

This renowned encyclopaedia of adverse drug reactions, now in its 14th Edition, gives an up-to-date and critical review of the world literature over the past four years.

An international team of well over 100 specialists, have contributed to this fourteenth edition by critically reviewing from the yearly Annuals all that is truly new and informative (and pointing to much which is misleading) in the area of Adverse Drug Reactions. Under the able supervision of two series editors, co-editors and authors have managed to summarise the vast amount of data in a structured and readable form. The high-quality indexes of drugs and of side-effects make this title even more valuable.

The fourteenth edition of Meyler, published in December 2000, provides the world with a fully updated and reliable guide to developments in current knowledge.

Meyler's Side Effects of Drugs, Fourteenth Edition, summarises four Annuals of the series /locate/series/seda"Side Effects of Drugs Annuals". Each Annual can be used independently or as a supplement to this standard encyclopaedic work. Meyler 14 summarises the following Annuals:

Review:

D.B. Bylund
...This book appropriately seeks to provide an informed view of unwanted drug effects in order to make it possible to assess the potential benefits versus the potential risks of the drug to the patient. This objective is thoroughly met. ...The book covers essentially all drugs and drug classes currently used in clinical medicine. It is comprehensive with 49 chapters, including a chapter on the increasing important alternative (or complementary) therapies, and a chapter on miscellaneous agents and medical devices. Comprehensive indexes of drugs and of side effects are included. ...This encyclopedic and authoritative book will be of use to residents and practitioners in all specialties of medicine and pharmacy. This is an excellent and needed update of the venerable tome on adverse effects of drugs. A limited but systematic search of therapeutic drugs did not uncover any significant omissions.

...When information in relation to adverse effects of medicinal products is required this book is, in my view, one of the best sources available.
