Full Description
It is important that all staff involved in healthcare should know what drugs a patient is taking, what they are for and what side-effects there may be. Updated annually, the "Drugs Handbook" provides ready access to the most up-to-date information on the various medications prescribed or bought over the counter. It is an authoritative guide for nurses, paramedical staff and other health professionals, and anyone needing a concise reference source on drugs.
