4.0 out of 5 stars Best Comprehensive Pharmacy Review Book Available, September 8, 1999

This review is from: Comprehensive Pharmacy Review (National Medical) (Paperback)

This book is excellent for use in pharmacy school, board review, or in practice. All areas of pharmacy practice are covered. Next to Facts and Comparisons I reach for this book to answer questions I have on any drug topic. Try finding which ingredients are the best for sun protection in the PDR. This book concisely provides the information you need.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant!, December 28, 1999

This review is from: Comprehensive Pharmacy Review (National Medical) (Paperback)

This book is a Godsend! I was given the opportunity to write the Evaluation Exam for the PEBC in Canada and I had no idea where I was going to get all the information I needed to study. This book is really a 'Comprehensive Review' of what was done at University (and sometimes, what was NOT done too!). There are a few errors in the text which you should keep in mind (don't accept everything as truth without questioning statements occasionally.If you are wide awake, you will spot them. All in all, a brilliant book.
