DESCRIPTION:
not the beloved pharmacopoea Halt, all who goes here. All is not the same. Appears to be published by Jones and Bartlett publishers, and I haven't gotten through it all, but there are some changes. My main recommendation is get one, see if it is satisfactory, and get others if you do. I usually get 3, because I can't depend on drug reps to bring them.Today as I freshly cracked it, I went to look up ped antibiotic doses which have had a table I have long valued, and the table is moved. Not to worry, change happens. It is on page166-167, all doses are per TAB, and is difficult to follow across the 2 pages because they don't line up. This is a heavily used feature . Confusing listing! I'm not sure why Amazon lists "(Library of Veterinary Practice)" in the title, as this seems to imply this is a veterinary resourceother than that, this book is as useful as ever, although the index has taken out the helpful letters to indicate bottom, middle or top of page where drug is located.. Not a veterinary reference. This is the regular human beloved pharmacopoeia. I ordered from here after looking at the pictures and surmising the "veterinary" label is a mistake, and I did receive the normal edition.I am an FP MD and have used these every day for years, since medstudenthood. Pocket version is best, better I think than Tarascon's other ancillary products. Epocrates for palmtops is also good, but I think this is still quicker, and easier to scribble a note in too. Med students and residents: get this now, before food, maybe before water, and certainly before sleeping.
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 tables supplement the drug content, including opioid equivalency, emergency drug infusions, cardiac dysrhythmis protocols, pediatric drug dosing, and much more!. Updated fully for 2009, the 23rd Edition of the Tarascon Pocket Pharmacopoeia Classic Shirt-Pocket Edition continues the high-quality tradition of a convenient, organized, and concise pocket manual packed with vital drug information meticulously
