5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for all primary care providers, March 17, 2007

By	Azucena Barocio - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Lexi-Comp's Pediatric Dosage Handbook: Including Neonatal Dosing, Drug Administration, & Extemporaneous Preparations (Paperback)

This book is very handy in helping you calculating pediatric doses for common over the counter products as well as prescription drugs. The more popular databases for drug at times do not include some of the common over the counter products so this is very helpful for that. It also offers a comprehensive description of the product including contraindications and cautions. It also includes very helpful appendices which deal with the not so common conditions seen in pediatrics.
