Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
Today, consumers are offered a number of prescription pill guides on the market. After having worked on THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO PILLS for many months with its editor and compiler, Brenda Adderly, I am confident that this is the most thorough, easy to use and understand reference book available. We were particularly sensitive to the style and format of our book. We were careful to design THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO PILLS with the consumer in mind. You may need to know - - and quickly - - if there are any pills or over- the-counter medications which you should avoid when taking Claritin, for example. That information is easily found by looking up Claritin and reading the section called "Interactions". We incorporated eye-catching icons/titles, extra large typeface, and charts that break down the information into what you need to know now. Our alphabetical listing includes entries for both brand name (Tylenol) and generic (acetaminophen).

Do doctors really know their medications?,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Complete Guide to Pills, Revised (Mass Market Paperback)
I think both patients and doctors should buy this book. I was once over medicated by a doctor while vacationing in Annapolis and slept for hours! I sure hope he buys this book!
