5.0 out of 5 stars It is like having a pharmacy consult sitting next to you, June 15, 1999

By	Elmann "Kenneth Ellman" (Newton, New Jersey United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book now slightly outdated, has two very valuable features. First it is very thorough. Practically every drug and its therapeutic application is discussed. Second the discussion is not just a factual presentation in the PDR sense but an attempted detailed clinical evaluation. Specific patient scenerio's are portrayed with various choices, considerations and outcomes. The patient Rx question is reviewed as if the particular patient is before you and you are on the phone with the pharmacy consult. I find it very useful to gain a picture of a careful, slow and detailed evaluation of proper patient Rx practices. This is not written as a quick reference guide, it is a course in itself on clinical Rx methods and approaches. It is a wonderful book to add to your library. I have no doubt that it's approach will provide better patient care. What it needs is an on-line update feature.

By A Customer

The best book anywhere on the subject of applied therapeutics. The format is easy to follow, a series of logical questions and answer leading to intelligent therapeutic conclusions. Each section is written by a leading expert in their field.

5.0 out of 5 stars ***A complete CLINICAL review of medications, August 31, 1996

By A Customer

This is a very thorough and clinically-based book on pharmacology. The question and answer format goes directly to the heart of medication problems seen in a medical practice. Sections follow disease processes well and are indexed well. I wish this book had been available in medical school. It is very detailed for all levels, yet presents information is a succinct, readable format. This is not a PDR; it is a clinical text with immediate practical advice. If you read the sections on acne and hypertension you will realize this is not your usual general pharmacology text. The fine details of treatment are all there
