Building on the success and popularity of previous editions, Pocket Prescriber 2009.10 has been
fully updated to incorporate new drugs, to remove drugs no longer on the market and to reflect
recent changes in dosages and prescribing practice.

It fills a niche by providing the most essential clinical pharmacology information that busy
clinicians need at their fingertips . by focusing on the 500 key drugs that are most commonly
prescribed, in an A to Z listing, the book avoids overwhelming the reader with information and
remains user-friendly.

Information provided includes dosages, indications, contraindications, side-effects and
interactions.

An important section of the book deals with commonly-encountered prescribing problems, selection
issues where there are many similar drugs to choose from (such as antibiotics and antihypertensives),
and guidance on coping with a wide variety of emergency situations (such as anaphylaxis and
overdoses).

Principally aimed at junior doctors, the book is also an invaluable and accessible revision aid
for medical students and a practical handbook for nurse and pharmacist prescribers.
