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!

Customer Rating:
Summary: Very handy
Comment: I'm a novice practitioner who has found this very useful in practice. Many times I come across patients who are taking medications that I am just not that familiar with yet. I am able to look up dosing, availability and whether or not a generic is available very easily. I keep this reference in my shirt pocket at all times.

Summary: every doc/med students must have
Comment: This you just MUST have and we all know it. For FUN, look up, in the first few pages --'abbreviations'. You will see that K stands for excreted thru the kidneys, L for liver excretion and L and O= liver and onions. Just love that. some years have it and some don't, but I just love to ASK med students/residents what L and O excretion IS and watch the FUN. Have fun. BUY it. You need all this handy in a pocket or desk version and the price is right!
