5.0 out of 5 stars Concise, informative, easy to understand...great reference!, March 7, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: The PDR Pocket Guide to Prescription Drugs: 5th Edition (Physicians' Desk Reference Pocket Guide to Prescription Drugs) (Mass Market Paperback)
I picked up this handy little (though fat) paperback on a whim while perusing the magazine shelf at my local drugstore. What a great little book! The information given is written in plain English, unlike the "real" PDR, and is actually quite complete, though concise. It goes right to what "we" (the regular people) need to know about prescription drugs. I highly recommend it.
