Complete listings of all oral and topical medications prescribed in dermatology with lab guidelines, doses, preparation, size, and brand name. All in easy to read tables. Plus over the counter products such as shampoos, cleansers, sunscreens, etc with listings of the possible sensitizers. Well referenced and easy to fit in a pocket.

I received the wrong edition of a book I had bought. The picture posted with the review was not the same book.

This is the best book out there for listing meds used in various conditions in dermatology. Has dosages, available sizes, comparisons, charts, tables, etc. Very in depth (for example lists known sensitizers in various known products for quick reference). Great pocket book for any resident or practing derm.

Wow,
Impeccable condition! I lost my previoius pocket guide and was thrilled to order this one at such an affordable price than other vendors. The only draw back is that this pocketguide hasn't been published since 2003, but most if not all prescription topicals are in here except for your newer foams and solutions. I imagine what will be a handfull is updating all the over the counter cosmeceuticals into a pocketguide without offending any particular manufacturer.

I bought this book a month ago.I think it was the biggest mistake of my life!It's completely boring.It's just like reading a Pharmocopia or Drug Index (Even they are better!!!).
There are no illustrations,writing is very small,abbreviations are allot and difficult to follow.Above all it's quite expensive.
I don't recommend this book to any dermatologist or health practitioner.
Sorry!!
