The most complete,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Clinical Handbook of Psychotropic Drugs (Spiral-bound)
THE most complete psychopharmacology clinical text. You will find rare side effects and drug-drug interactions that would be omitted in any other clinical text and that you would only discover by doing a literature search. Many tables make comparison between drugs of the same class easy. Also has a section on herbal products and pages of patient information sheets that can be photocopied and given to patients. This is a gem.
