Synopsis

This easy-to-use reference provides the correct spelling and capitalization of over 25,000 brand- and generic-name drugs with dosage forms, investigational drug names and codes, chemotherapy protocols, trademarked dosage forms, and drug categories/classes, as well as the indications of approved drugs and standard dosage. The text features: pharmaceutical information which is organized specifically for medical transcriptionists, designed to help them determine which drug is being transcribed and confirm correlating information; a sound-alike icon to call attention to drugs that are often typed incorrectly because they sound like another drug when spoken, allowing transcriptionists to confirm the correct drug; and useful appendices to provide transcriptionists exactly the information they need in a quick, convenient format. Appendices include: most prescribed drugs, therapeutic levels for drugs which may cause toxicity, code names, common abbreviations used in prescriptions, nutraceuticals and herbal medicines. The 2002 edition presents drug information that has been thoroughly reviewed and updated to guarantee accuracy and also includes the addition of drugs, the removal of obsolete drugs and appropriate changes made to drug information throughout.
