Book Description

ISBN-10: 0889372195 | ISBN-13: 978-0889372191 | Publication Date: February 15, 2001 | Edition: 2 Rev Exp

A review of drug-induced neurological disorders which should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a wide range of neurological conditions. It begins with the clinical situations, and works backward to help determine whether and what medications are involved. Each specific disorder is discussed, with extensive links to other neurological influences of the drugs involved. Cross-references between drugs and adverse effects should therefore be easily accomplished, assisted by the full, separate indexes of drugs and adverse reactions. This new edition is revised and expanded to take account of developments in the area since the first edition.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"This is an excellent volume that I can recommend highly. It deserves a place on the bookshelf of every hospital library and clinicians would certainly be well-served by ready access to it."
