This consumer guide to 1500 prescription and non-prescription medicines answers all the questions there's never time to ask in a GP's surgery. The book describes how medicines work and why their effects may be different for different people, looks at the various body systems (ie., heart, circulation, skin, breathing, mind and nerves), common conditions and diseases, and suggests what questions patients should be putting to their doctors concerning their own treatment. Special attention is given to use of medicines by over-65s. A discussion of recent changes in drugs legislation, including the extension of the "selected list", glossary of medical terms and addresses of relevant organizations and self-help groups complete the book.
