DEFINITELY NOT THE BEST, BUT NOT BAD AT ALL,
By reviewer (Zurich, Switzerland.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: American Pharmaceutical Association's Guide to Prescription Drugs (Paperback)
"The American Pharmaceutical Association's Guide to Prescription Drugs" is a fine text that covered some 1,000 of the most commonly prescribed drugs. It is straightforward, and sells at a newspaper's price. However, its biggest sin is that it is less up-to-date, and offers little when compared to other books like the "Complete Guide to Prescription & Non-prescription Drugs".
