Physicians' Desk Reference has been the authoritative source on prescription drugs for 66 years. Found in virtually every physician's office, pharmacy, clinic, and library, no medical reference is more current, more recognized, or more respected. Now in its 66th year, PDR contains full FDA-approved drug label information, including warnings and precautions, drug interactions, and hundreds of full-color pill images. Every label in PDR includes information on dosages, side effects, and safety information, such as contraindications, pregnancy ratings, and interactions with other drugs, food, or alcohol. Data on clinical trials is also included.

PDR is continuing to go south. The Pages decrease every year as more and more drugs go generic. Generic drugs get lackluster coverage. As I said last year, NEVER pay full price last year. Even Nurses I know don't think this a good resource. Sources like Lippincott and the Internet easily trump this book. I like it simply because the Doctors have it and I got it cheap but don't pay much!

I purchased the 2012 PDR for my wife for looking up information on drugs for her pharmacology class. There is no index listing by brand and generic names of drugs with the manufacturer listed. She needs to look up the manufacturer name on the internet in order to find the drug in the PDR. Makes no sense at all. She gave up using the PDR as it was too time-consuming.Physicians' Desk Reference, 66th Edition (Gift box) (Physicians' Desk Reference (Bookstore Version))

Nothing much different from last year. Indexes still suck, difficult to look up a drug by generic or proprietary name.

I was looking for a copy of the book and decided to give the used service on Amazon a try. This was exactly what I was looking for and will serve me well in the future. The condition was in excellent shape with everything as new. Will by from this vendor in the future.

I am studying medical coding and billing and will need this book for my job. However, it was even more important when I worked for my local poison control center as a volunteer.

What happened to the index
It may be stuffed with useful information but I cannot locate it due to the lack of an adequate indexing system. I would return it but that would be too much trouble.
