I keep this in my pocket at all times. Though it doesn't give the information my Davis Drug Guide does, it can be carried easily and has the dose range, action, contraindications, and uses of the medications. There is a section in the front that lists drugs by category such as antineoplastic agents, then it is broken down into subclasses such as antimetabolites. The drugs are listed in alphabetical order which makes for a quick and easy find. I prefer this to Tarascon. An RN nursing student.
