I have never bought another prescription book, that is so informative, as this one! I have ordered this book, 3 times in the past, and just received the NEW REVISED edition-2003. It tells you WHY the medication is prescribed, TIME it will take, before you get results. The common side effects, to the infrequent side effects. Cautions to be aware of, short & long term use, etc! If it weren't for this book, I never would have known, WHY my husband was so very sick- with a new sample medication! It actually SAVED his life! Even his Dr.'s couldn't believe how wonderful this book was- I brought it with me, to the hospital, to show his Dr.'s & the nurses, on WHY I felt this new medication was the culprit! And they AGREED with me, after reading it. Bought 4 books for gifts & just ordered 4 more!
