Pharmacy Books

This book is a great resource for transcribers and other medical professionals. We use it at our worksite everyday. We especially like the format of black and colored type. It is done in a very user friendly format.

This is a book any medical transcriptionist can do with. All the current drugs are in it. They are well organized, and it is easy to find drugs in it. It will be one book I will never part with.

This is a wonderful drug manual for transcriptionists and is an excellent book to supplement a more in-depth drug reference.

The Instant Drug Index, as the name says, allows you to instantly look up the spelling of a drug name by searching the alphabetical listing. The drug name and type of drug are conveniently listed for you.

It allows you to find a drug name quickly, being able to scan the list and then resume working.

Dosage information and conditions are not listed in this book. It is meant to be a quick-reference tool and is a great supplement to a larger drug book.

Like a cool caribbean breeze,the knowledge to be gleaned from the pages of this book provides the foundation for advanced insight into a realm of science that will forever enhance man's keen sense of discovery.

I used this book in a practical course in medicinal chemistry. Although we had a series of other suggested texts, this was by far the best book we used. Its written clearly and would be fine for a beginning student. The sample problems are nicely worked out and they don't assume that you know everything already. It doesn't do the most thourough job of explaining the theory behind the experimental approaces, but it would suffice for a beginning course in med chem.

Being worked with the author myself I am maybe a bit too partial to write this review. However, since the book has had no review so far, I felt compelled to write something. This book is full of good practical examples of instrumental methods applied to pharmaceutical analysis, writen by someone who had taken the time to actually DO most of the experiments from which the book is based. Not deep into theory, but very good for those seeking practical and sound advice.

I'm just starting out in the medical transcription field, and this book has been fabulous! I haven't found a medication yet that wasn't in it. I definitely recommend this!

I've been doing medical transcription for almost 8 years and this is the without a doubt the best drug reference book! It's conveniently sized, easy to read and up-to-date!

A very helpful reference especially for the transcriptionist, auditor or proofer who is reviewing dictated reports. Great to look up medication spelling errors or missing medications. Quicker and easier to use than a drug book, this handy reference gives a more concise description of the drug, uses, doses, correct spelling, whether generic or not. The medications are listed in alphabetical order and the book is small and user friendly. Recommend highly!

Like Donna M. Fenske, who also rated this text, I had purchased many expensive Pharm Texts before buying the 1st edition of this text. At the time I was a PA-C Student at Stanford School of Medicine and this was the best text for successful completion of the program and certification as a PA-C. I am about to take my re-cert (PANRE) and will buy the second edtion. It is straight forward, no fluff and to the point. I think, at my suggestion, this is the current textbook for Pharm at my Alma Mater.... as it Should be! Thank you Virginia and Andrew, well done!

Pharmacotherapeutic for Advanced Practice: A Practical Approach by Arcangelo & Peterson is an excellent resource book with in depth descriptions of medications, herbal products and their uses, as well as dosages, including information on adverse reactions and drug interactions. An excellent resource!

I just completed my Family Nurse Practitioner Program. I have purchased several EXPENSIVE pharmacology books over the past three years, all which made the pharm complicated and difficult to understand. This book is the best, easy to carry and easy to read. The cover is wimpy so am going to take it to a graphics place and have a binder put on it so it does not fall apart.

A must have for a house officer or practitioner. Though it is a little big to put in you pocket it is well presented and well organized. Actually you can get it into your lab coat pocket.

The book is very easy to use and has been an asset in pharmacy school. Gives you the pertinent information quickly. I like it better than our required Drug Information. Many students in both the Pharmacy and PA program like it.

If you can only have one drug reference book, this is it. It's better than anything else I've seen. If you're a pharmacist or a pharmacy student, and don't have a photographic memory, get this book. Unlike Facts or PDR, this book let's you look up essential info quickly. I've notice APhA's handbook is full of typo's.(e.g take food w/APAP) I've been using this book for six years now. It's my favorite book! (At least until the new edition comes out.)

The PDR tells you all the problems with side effects with drugs--I use it all the time to look up drugs as a medical secretary. However, this book is a lot easier to read for a layperson.

The copy I have read was published in 1997 by Harmony books and probably pretty much similar to this 1998 edition. Dr. Bosker displays a great courage in exposing some of the money savings the managed care organizations. Dr. Bosker explains that generics are possibly not as effective as originals but they are pushed anyway to save money. How many of us were repeatedly assured that they use same chemicals and they are same. You will love MedRANK Life checklists and find out if your medications are the optimal ones subscribed for the ailment. I enjoyed the book and consider it a gift of service to all of us by Dr. Gideon Bosker.

The warning, "Consumer beware!" is crucial in the matter of prescription drugs, and Dr. Bosker's book can greatly assist you in educating yourself about them. He states which medications work, which ones don't, which are unacceptably unsafe, and which ones are dangerous in combination with each other in these areas: childhood disease, heart disease, high blood pressure, psychiatric problems, asthma, allergies, skin conditions, stroke, headaches, gastrointestinal problems, infections, cancer, HIV, osteoporosis, arthritis, pain relief, prostate problems, menopause, contraception, and life extension.

Though Dr. Bosker's book covers an intimidating subject in a very comprehensive way, fortunately, his writing is clear and straightforward and the book is well laid out, so it is easy to use. An index and table of contents allow you to look up the specific medications you're interested in and zip to the section that covers them. There is also a bibliography of references, if you want to do further reading, and a list of organizations which can give you more information about prescription drugs.

I believe this important reference book should be in every American home, particularly those with children on medications or with elderly people who have multiple prescriptions.

I used this book to prepare for FPGEE. clear and concise, very helpfull.

This book provides an abbreviated review of organic functional groups, with special emphasis on pharmacophores. The review is well organized and concise, and provides a primer (or review) of IUPAC and Chem Abstracts nomenclature. Recommended for anyone from the student studying for an organic final to the medicinal chemistry professional. Excellent reference.

i have been exposed to quite a bit of organic/biochemistry but this book is very well written and serves as a review to these fields as well as a nice intoduction to medicinal chemistry. i guess they all kind of blend together anyway but lemke is a fantastic author, well worth the investment.

I want to preview this book than sure that is i want.

This book ranks with PDR for Herbal Remedies, plus it includes minerals and other supplements. A great buy!

The Accu-Calc System gives the user a choice as to how you want to answer the test problems: formula method, ratio/proportion and the dimensional analysis method.
I cannot express how helpful this system is in order to accurately prepare the Nursing Student for their test(s). The Math for Meds book is a good primer however, Accu-Calc is an even greater asset to have throughout Nursing school. You are tested on fractions, ratios, percents, metric conversions, and Medical Abbreviations. Then there are more advanced testing for medication dosages that are priceless.

I found it very helpful to prevent medical errors occured in administration of medicine to patients. It should be read and considered thoroughly in order to give your patients a safer service.

the book arrived today and in perfect condition. thanks!

This book has a wealth of questions, which thoroughly test your knowledge of a variety of pharmaceutical topics, I found the bundled software to be the best part of this package.
