Great Reference! May 15, 2008

I am a Medical Transcription student who is building up her reference collection. As a former librarian, I have always used the PDR for any drug reference questions I had. Complete with a Manufacturers' Index, Product Name Index, Product Catagory Index, Active Ingredients Index and Companion Drug Index, it allows the user to easily find needed information about any OTC drugs they may take or want to try. It also contains a Product Identification Guide with full-color illustrations, non-prescription drug information, dietary, herbal supplement and generic drug information and product comparison tables that let the user compare the active ingredients and dosages of common brand-name OTC drugs. This is a valuable resource for anyone in the medical field and for those who want to have more information they can discuss with their physician. Remember to always discuss any drug with your physician before using any supplements or OTC drugs; especially if you are on prescription medication. Drug interactions can sometimes be fatal when mixed.

There is some potentially wacky stuff at the end of the book, as the publisher warns you. It describes herbal and dietary supplements that are basically totally unregulated. Nothing proven about efficacy. Yet still readily available at health stores. So the publisher made the pragmatic decision to include some information about these items.
If you are a layperson to the medical field, be aware that those supplements are really a walk on the wild side.
