As usual, the 2007 PDR was what I expected. Very comprehensive.
The only thing I found a little misleading was the fact that the advertised edition of the PDR on-disc (CD), that was was included with the 2007 PDR, was a 2006 edition and it's use expires part way through 2008. Most buyers would probably assume that the "PDR on disc" offerd would be the 2007 edition on CD. Also the fact that these software editions have "time-limited functionality" should also be mentioned. I believe that this information would influence a buyers decision to purchase the product. I attempted to check and see if this information was currently available on the Amazon site but this purchase option is not longer offered.

This was published before the 2007 PDR on CD was available. If you want the more up-to-date 2007 PDR on CD, instead get the PDR Electronic Library 2007 on CD. Amazon has it for $59.99 which is 40% off listed price! The 2007 PDR Electronic Library has the full 2007 PDR + PDR Nonprescription Drugs/Dietary Supplements + PDR Ophthalmic Medicines + PDR Drug Interactions/Side Effects all fully integrated on one CD. So it is much more up-to-date and much more comprehensive and much more portable!

The PDR for years has been an easy way to review drugs. This addition is no different...an excellent reference for those interesting is reviewing old drugs or learning about a new drug.
