5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Guide to Medications, June 10, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The PDR POCKET GUIDE TO PRESCRIPTION DRUGS THIRD EDITION (Paperback)
I purchased this inexpensive guide soon after I was diagnosed and it has been very useful in checking all the prescriptions I received from my doctor. Based on the Physician's Desk Reference, this guide is the most comprehensive reference on medications and essential for patients with IBD or IBS. I've used it many times, mostly to prepare for questions about medications for my doctor. It contains a wealth of information on thousands of medications: indications for use, how each drug works, potential side effects, and interactions with other medications. The PDR is also indexed by manufacturer, category, and brand and generic names. It will definately help you exercise more control over your medical care.

5.0 out of 5 stars A VERY INFORMATIVE AND SIMPLE BOOK, June 16, 2000
This review is from: The PDR Pocket Guide to Prescription Drugs, 4th Edition (Paperback)
I find this PDR to be very informative, simple, clear, and concise. Also because of its size its very handy to take with you anywhere and is not as bulky as the regular PDR. Text is written in plain English, for everybody to understand. I give this book ***** Stars

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 (Pdr Family Guides) (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.
