This well-designed reference book is useful for both quick study and for on-thejob reference. Unique to this book is a pedagogical section which details the mechanism of action of the major drug classes, presented by system, including the various therapeutic effects, uses, as well as drug and food contraindications and adverse effects expected. The book is a must-have for health care providers - for the pharmacy technician, information presented can allow simple verification of the information presented on a prescription; determine if the drug and dosage prescribed for the patient are appropriate, and check for major drug-drug interactions.
