This book is to-the-point, yet very thorough, when it comes to Federal Pharmacy Law. I am a traveling pharmacist, thus I have had to take MPJEs for several states (and law exams for those states who do not participate in MPJE). So far this guide has helped me to pass them all and I will definitely continue to use it for future MPJEs. But don't forget you still need to know EACH individual state's laws and rules too.

If you need a very thorough but concise review of federal pharmacy law before you take the MPJE, this is your book. Each section focuses on a specific area of pharmacy law and then reinforces what you have just read with several review questions. After you have read all of the sections (which takes only a day or two) you can use the hundreds of practice questions at the end of the book to test your knowledge. The questions are VERY similar to the actual questions on the exam. I read this book, did all of the practice questions, skimmed over the state law manual, and passed the MPJE last week. Definitely a useful study tool.

I like the scope and format of this book. It is very easy to study and I love the large number of questions. However, beware of missing information about the Medicare Modernization Act. The material cuts off in mid-sentence and continues on to a new paragraph leaving the reader to wonder what was missed. I would have liked a more thorough explanation of adulterated vs. misbranded especially in relation to expiration dating. Question numbers 29,143,186,194 and 204 appear to have errors. I would also like more to appear in the index to be able to find subject matter quickly. In spite of these issues I would recommend this reference and I hope the editors will improve the next edition.

I just finished writing the MPJE and after reading the reviews I wondered if it was the same book. The hints and study tips did not help at all. The content stressed on my examination was not even close to anything that was presented in this book. It is good for generalities but concentrate on your state instead of buying this book.

Eventhough looks bigger (330 pages),its easy to read.I finished this book in 2 days and reviewd one more time in my 5 day preparation.Q & A at the end are a big plus for this book.I recommend every one to read all the pages(including th OTC laws and some important things in the last chapters) at least one time.Good luck guys in your eforts.

This book was very helpful in reminding me of Federal Law. I have been out of school for 10 years, and this was great review. I went through the whole book and all the questions in a couple of days. I passed the Michigan MPJE with an 85.

A well written review of Federal Pharmacy Law with tips and questions that are pertinent for every pharmacist in todays competitive and complex legalisistic enviroment.

Makes learning Pharmacy Law a pleasant and enjoyable experience.

This book was provided to us by our college of pharmacy in preparation for the MPJE. It provides a concise review of federal pharmacy law, but was not as helpful as the Florida-specific review packets and classes.

Much better than trying to read the laws and statutes yourself!! And written in a way that's easy to read that puts information of similar topics together.

this books has great questions for practice with minimal errors. It is easy to read- which is important considering the material!
