5.0 out of 5 stars New Edition of an Old Stand-By, June 21, 2005

By	John Matlock "Gunny" (Winnemucca, NV) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Now in its twenty sixth annual edition the PDR for Nonprescription Drugs and Dietary Supplements is a compendium of information on all of the drugs sold over the counter in the United States. The information on the drugs comes from the manufacturer, has been blessed by the manufacturer's medical department and is based on information officially filed with the FDA. The publisher takes the information from the manufacturer and puts it together in one book with similar information from all of the other manufacturers.

This book is the one single source for information about all of the approved drugs by all of the manufacturers. This information is combined with an extensive indexing system to enable any drug to be rapidly found. The indexing is in several different sections including indexing by the trade name of the drug, the generic name, the manufacturer, the condition being treated, etc.

There is also a color section with pictures of both the packaging and the pills or tablets themselves. This is to enable the health care provider to show the patient the picture of the drug to get confirmation of what he is or should be taking.

This is the standard book for the industry, updated for the latest approved drugs.
