Good source for drugs, doses, trade/brand names

Going into your clinical years this is a great book to refer to drugs when you need to look up the trade/brand name conversion. It is also excellent for dosage instructions. The disadvantages in my opinion are that it does not go into any detail about MOA (only category..ie: SSRI, or Anti-Emetic, rather than how exactly it works. However, it is well categorized by drug class. I have used both this and the smaller pocket version (this is a lab coat version) and I prefered the pocket one, only due to convenience.

Pharmacology

This product is great for any professional in the medical field who needs to know about medications! This is a great size because it fits right in your lab coat pocket. Also, the size is small enough to carry around but also big enough to read without any problems. I am currently a student studying to be a Physician Assistant, and I find this book very useful and easy to use. The book is divided into indications for the drug and also there is an index in the back for a quick look up for a specific drug. The book is low price and such a handy reference. I recommend to all medical professionals!

great to have in your pocket!

This book is great to be able to have in your pocket for quick reference. It is organized by category with an index in the back. I highly recommend it.

Reliable Classic

Each year, a Tarascon Pharmacopeia gets published, and it is a superb reference. Since it is small, portable, reliable, and fairly comprehensive, you can find one in a medical student's pocket right along with the Scut Monkey, the Wash Manual, the calipers, and the reflex hammer. A classic mainstay of medical education, I still keep one among my current office references. Then, I used it multiple times in an hour. Now, I use it every couple of days. I'm comfortably familiar with the format and find the Tarascon impeccably reliable.

pocket reference

This is an exceedingly useful pocket reference book. I utilize it several times a day in my busy clinical work, and intend to update to the latest edition as soon as available. Of course, pricing, delivery, and integrity of product were on the usual excellent level.

reviews: page 1, 2, 3, 4

Tarascon Pocket Pharmacopoeia, 2008 Deluxe Lab-Coat Pocket Edition continues high-quality tradition of a convenient and organized pocket manual detailing typical drug dosing (both FDA approved and off-label uses), available trade and generic formulations, metabolism, Canadian drug names, relative pricing, information, and safety in pregnancy and lactation. The Deluxe takes it all a step further by including additional drugs and dosing indications, black-box warnings, notes of cytochrome P450 isozymes, Packed with this expanded information and more tables than the Classic, the Deluxe is still small enough to comfortably fit in our labcoat pocket. As with the Classic, all entries are meticulously peer-reviewed by drug information experts and clinicians of multiple specialties.
