Book Description

January 1995
Most over-the-counter drugs are safe and effective. But with over 300,000 different products in the drugstore, how do you know which ones are best? This book helps you find the right over-the-counter drug for whatever ails you.

The bookis organization is simple: Look up your symptom in the table of contents and turn to the appropriate chapter. Once in the appropriate chapter, you'll find the generic names of the OTC ingredients ranked by 1st, 2nd, and 3rd choice, with reasons for the ranking, and special considerations for seniors and children. You'll learn why the preferred ingredients work, and the brand names of products containing those ingredients.


Editorial Reviews

Review

Finally: a guide which lists over-the-counter drugs by both generic and brand name, but which makes specific recommendations of first and second drug choices for treating common ailments, based on dosage and side effects. Discussions of risk factors are also included, but the specific advice here will enable savvy consumers to stock their medicine chests with the most effective products. -- Midwest Book Review
