It is essential that all involved in a patient's healthcare should have ready access to information on the various medicines prescribed or bought over the counter. Updated annually, "Drugs Handbook" provides quick and easy access to these facts and acts as a concise guide to almost all medicines available in the UK. Full information on the drugs is clearly arranged in the following user-friendly structure: Part I lists (in alphabetical order) the drugs under their chemically approved names, giving their mechanism of action, therapeutic indications and chief unwanted side effects; Part II lists the drugs under their trade or brand names, with cross-references to the appropriate approved names. "Drugs Handbook 2006" is a practical and authoritative guide for all healthcare students and professionals.
