5.0 out of 5 stars An "Indispensible" Little Book for Physicians, December 29, 2007

By	O. Brown "Ms. O. Khannah-Brown" (Twopeas, WA) - See all my reviews (TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

*****
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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good if you only need dosages..., February 19, 2008

By	MD-to-be "MD-to-be" (USA) - See all my reviews

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Pocket Reference, January 23, 2008

By	S. Sykes (Dothan, AL United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
