Recently updated for 2008, the Tarascon Pocket Pharmacopoeia continues the high-quality tradition of a convenient, organized, and concise pocket manual packed with vital drug information meticulously peer-reviewed by experts and clinicians of multiple specialties. It details typical drug dosing (both FDA approved and off-label uses), available trade and generic formulations, metabolism, safety in pregnancy and lactation, relative drug pricing information, Canadian trade names, and an Herbal & Alternative Therapies section. Multiple invaluable tables supplement the drug content, including opioid equivalency, emergency drug infusions, cardiac dysrhythmia protocols, pediatric drug dosing, and much more!

How do you write for that again?,
By Seejay "cjcjcjcj" (Earth, superficially) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tarascon Pocket Pharmacopoeia 2008: Classic Shirt-Pocket Edition, 22nd Edition (Paperback)
In the hospital: When your resident asks you to write orders for 17 medicines on one patient, you'll be glad you have this... It's in everyone's pocket. Make sure you have this year's copy. This is the one with small print and no spiral binding. This is almost ALWAYS quicker than the PDA. I've raced people. Also, no batteries to rely on.
2.0 out of 5 stars
CAN DO WITHOUT THIS TINY BOOK WITH TINY PRINT,

This review is from: Tarascon Pocket Pharmacopoeia 2008: Classic Shirt-Pocket Edition, 22nd Edition (Paperback)
MAYBE SOME DAY I'LL BUY THIS BOOK AGAIN, BUT FOR RIGHT NOW, I'LL PASS. A "POCKET" SIZED BOOK DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THAT SMALL. I'D RATHER SPEND MY MONEY ON SOMETHING I CAN READ WITHOUT A MAGNIFIER.
5.0 out of 5 stars
A great resource,

This book is a great resource. If you don't have a PDA with epocrates, it's the next best thing.
