Oxford handbook of practical drug therapy (Oxford University Press)

The Oxford Handbook of Practical Drug Therapy brings together for the first time in a single book practical information on safe prescribing with the background knowledge that underpins clinical pharmacology. It contains a series of monographs on approximately 250 of the drugs which students and junior doctors are likely to come into contact with, arranged broadly by therapeutic category (in line with the British National Formulary). Each monograph covers the following aspects of the drug concerned; pharmacological actions and potential uses; advice on usage for its major indications; side effects; interactions with other drugs; advice on monitoring the patient and what to tell the patient about the drug they are taking.
