4.0 out of 5 stars My peripheral brain of drug knowledge, January 21, 1999

By	jfrank@telis.org (northern California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Drug Information Handbook (Paperback)

Pharmacists and physicians field dozens of drug information questions daily that can have life and death ramifications. Lacy's "Drug Information Handbook" is a concise, organized, reference book that will quickly become your first line source for up-to-date information on drug dosing, toxicities, pharmacokinetics (absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion) indications, drug interactions, and more. In addition, there are voluminous tables with comparison data. I highly recommend this book to healthcare professionals.

5.0 out of 5 stars Single best reference I have, August 26, 2006

By	L. Chad Riggs (NC, United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Lexi Comp's Drug Information Handbook (Paperback)

Being a hospital pharmacist and former pharmacy resident at a very well-known tertiary care center, I have found the DI Handbook to be the single best resource I have. There are other reference books that provide more complete information or are tailored to a specific topic, but I don't think there is a better general drug reference book that is as easy to carry as the DI Handbook. I use it daily in my practice.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Essential Portable Drug Reference, November 14, 2005

By	Dr. Dan (Birmingham, Alabama United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Lexi Comp's Drug Information Handbook (Paperback)

I am a clinical pharmacy specialist on an internal medicine teaching service. I have found that Lexi-Comp Drug Information is by far the most user-friendly, yet comprehensive of the portable drug references. Drugs are listed alphabetically by generic name, so there is no fumbling through indexes and listings by class when information is needed quickly, e.g., on rounds with the medical team. The topic headings under each monograph are extensive and thorough, and there are a number of useful appendices in the back of the book. There is a joke in our facility that this book is surgically attached to one hand of all the clinical pharmacists. This is the book I keep by the phone at home when I am on call, and the reference I recommend to my students to bring on teaching rounds.

While initially a "pocket" reference, the DI Handbook has quite outgrown the labcoat pocket, though it is still very portable. Though there are some monographs for combination products, there are no side-by-side comparisons of combination drugs such as found in Facts and Comparisons, et al. Adverse effects sections consist of lists of reactions ranked by frequnecy and categorized by organ system. Detailed information about any specific reaction is generally lacking, but it does provide a starting point for further investigation.

Overall, this is the best combination of ease-of-use and thoroughness of information in a drug reference that I have found.
