An "Indispensible" Little Book for Physicians,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Tarascon Pocket Pharmacopoeia 2008 Classic Shirt-pocket Edition (Tarascon Pocket Pharmacopoeia) (Tarascon Pocket Pharmacopoeia) (Paperback)
*****I purchase each new Tarascon addition for my husband, who is a solo practitioner and specialist. He carries it with him in the pocket of his scrubs and uses it daily with almost every patient for accuracy in dosing. He says that it is much easier to use for dosing than the PDR, much more convenient and quicker. He finds it much easier to use than any other source. The print size, which looks to be smaller, is however not too small for him. I usually buy three at a time because that is how many he'll use up in a year due to wear-and-tear and misplacement, and then use the old ones from previous years for collage because of the beautiful thin-but-strong onion-skin type paper. *****

Good if you only need dosages...,

This review is from: Tarascon Pocket Pharmacopoeia 2008 Classic Shirt-pocket Edition (Tarascon Pocket Pharmacopoeia) (Tarascon Pocket Pharmacopoeia) (Paperback)
As a 3rd year medical student, I needed something with more information other than dosages. This book is probably good for interns who are already familiar with all aspects of the drugs.

This is a great pocket reference for the busy physician. The best thing is that doesn't break when you drop it----like my PDA.
