For everyone in the health profession The Martindale is a book they need to have. You find all the relevant information about drugs and other usefull substances. Besides this it is very clearly written with no fuss, just the information you need.

Martindale's remains the classic English language source for many drugs marketed around the world. It also keeps one abreast of natural medications and its use of published references makes confirming information easy. I have used previous editions of Martindale since 1960 and keep the most current version on hand.

This is a necessary reference book for all hospital pharmacies,community pharmacies and those physicians who have a high percentage of immigrant patients. It has a world wide listing of foreign made pharmaceuticals which can not be found in standard drug reference books.

This book is excellent! I love it because you find everything on the market related to drugs. I like the part in which they list the commercial names on each continent, sometimes pharmaceutical companies used different names on different countries.
its a must buy for any person dealing with drugs, pharmacy or health care.

Unlike the PDR, for which all information is provided by the pharmaceutical companies making the drugs, Martindale is independent and interested only in providing accurate and useful information. The descriptions of drugs, actions, side effects, metabolism, and case examples are excellent, as are the choices of references. Expensive, but vital.

The Extra Pharmacopoeia is a very good an complet book which includes lots of generic names with very complete information about each one.
I recomend this book specially to doctors, pharmacists and nurses who need to be updated about these topics.

In this book you will find everything you need about drugs: use, administation routes, adverse reactions, interaction with others drugs. All information is based in extensive bibliography. Maybe this edition of Martindale is not as actual as you will need, but is one of the most extensive resource in drug information

Why did they not republish the first edition that tasted of strawberries and cheese. This new version, with it's claims of a "lighter nuttier" taste, is plain awful
