This review is from: Physicians Desk Reference 2003 With Physicians Desk Reference Family Guide (Hardcover)
This is without a doubt the last word in a book of drug information. The problem with the exhaustive list of side effects is that they are based on a list of everything that happened during studies... and while almost all are related to the drug being tested...some of the rare side effects *may* just have occured during the trials and may or may not be related to the drug. The book is expensive to buy and is updated yearly so a volume is outdated almost at publication...that is why I question the people who put so much stock in it. There are so many good alternatives. For example, the internet has many many many drug information sites...including a PDR site. There is a site for people with palm computers called "epocrates" that is free and infinately updateable...and has wonderful features! It is also much more portable than the PDR book. The pharmacies give out drug information and most will give you a package insert if you ask...and if you push your MD you may even be able to get the office to photocopy the pdr page for you. All of these things are probably better because you will be assured of getting the most up-to-date information... |
