Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Univ. of Minnesota, St. Paul. Pocket edition of the drug reference. Includes data on those drugs approved for use in veterinary species, and those non-approved (human) drugs used in veterinary practices. More than 50 new drug monographs are included. Previous edition: c1999. Softcover, desk edition listed in approval week 2002-12.

From the Back Cover
The Veterinary Drug Handbook: Client Information Edition helps veterinarians and pharmacists bridge the drug information gap between themselves and the people (clients; owners) who are treating their animals.

Several studies have demonstrated that people receiving verbal information from health professionals retain very little of that information once they leave the premises of their health provider. The information provided in this book will supplement the actual care provided and help in the task at hand, namely to improve the health of animals. The authors have included drugs that are commonly prescribed by small animal and equine practitioners, both those that are veterinary and “human” labeled medications. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Veterinary Drug Handbook, December 1, 1999

By	Dr. K. Longley (Eugene, Oregon) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Veterinary Drug Handbook (Paperback)

This book is a must have for all practices. It features concise monographs including pharmacokinetics, uses, cautions and contraindications. Also included are doses for multiple species and various brand names. An additional bonus for food animal practitioners is a listing of withdrawl times when available. If you only have ONE pharmacology book this should be the one.

5.0 out of 5 stars The ultimate in references for veterinary dosing., September 27, 1997

By	douglasl@vet.purdue.edu (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Veterinary Drug Handbook (Paperback)

This is the book you want for quick references for the most commonly used drugs in veterinary medicine. Clear pharmacokinetic information and accurate dosing information. Sturdy paperback won't fall apart even with extreme use in the clinics.
