2AM...in a pts home to begin therapy and who is up to help? This book answers all my questions ...I keep it in my car and have instant answers when confused and out there alone with a pt in their home and an IV pharmacist that is not responding to my page. LOVE IT!

This is a very handy spiral-bound handbook, at least for busy pharmacists who must make IV's like they knew everything. If I have a question, chances are, it's answered there- in less than a minute: How to make it, what it is used for, what to watch out for during therapy. My pharmacist hat is off to the nurses for this one.

As a hospital pharmacist, this is the book I have at my side at all times. Gives important information on infusion rates, stability, and usual dosages and concentrations. This information can be found elsewhere of course but I have been accustomed to looking here first.

As an ER RN, in my opinion this is the quintessential referance for anyone who requires fast, comprehensive information about IV meds. This yearly updated book is laid out alphabetically by generic drug name with multiple indexed cross referencing by classification and brand names. The staff in the ER consider it an indispensible tool on all relevent aspects of IV meds and their appropriate application. Awareness = improved patient care and safety.

I am a pharmacist with the Cleveland Clinic and need to have a reliable, thorough, and handy reference available at all times. This book is one of the best resources I have come by thus far in my career. It is a must have! Quick and easy look up to a wealth of organized information. All hospital pharmacists should not go without it!

This book is a great refrences book for medical staff professionals. I work in a hospital and when ever I need to find out dosing, stability ,or even description of a intravenous medication it's in this book. Also this book tells you all about how to store IV medication properly. This book really helps me alot. It's also a great resources for pharmacy school as well.

Good information, up to date, easy to use, and very helpful. I use this book at work quite often. My co-workers also use it and like it very much.

This is the best IV Drug book on the market. I have tried other books in the past and I always return to this book. It is easy to find the information that you need in a hurry. This is the IV book that all the nurses grab first.

When I was ordering this edition of Gahart's IV reference book, I noticed that it was the 18th edition. I have or have had most all the editions published! I guess I've been a nurse a long time..... I have worked in the Intensive Care and Emergency Department settings and have always found this book an excellent resource! Great for graduate/new nurses!

Intravenous Medications is clear, concise and contains the most pertinant information for the healthcare professional who deals daily with IV medications. Easy to use format gives the most up to date information about each drug on approximately two pages per entry. This book is used by our pharmacists and our anesthetists.
