It’s the most outstanding and up-to-date guide to pills and medications ever published. The only one of its kind in full color, The AARP Guide to Pills addresses the needs and concerns of 50+ adults in incredible depth. To simplify the process of finding information about a certain drug, generic drugs are presented in a logical A-to-Z organization, with a comprehensive index that includes cross-references to related brand-name drugs. All information has been vetted by a board of content specialists, including an expert from the University of Southern California’s School of Gerontology, considered the finest in the United States.
Each entry also features a detailed, color-correct image of the pill or capsule for identification purposes, along with details on its generic name, brand name, and manufacturer; a listing of what a health-care provider should know about the condition of anyone taking the medication; advice on what to do if you miss a dose; warnings on interactions with other drugs; and notes on potential side effects to look out for.
In their foreword and introduction, Harvard-trained doctors Jerry Avorn and William H. Thomas provide clear and comprehensive guidance on the wise use of prescription medications; how to effectively manage your drug costs; how to prepare for and derive maximum benefit from each doctor’s visit; how to talk to your physician and pharmacist; how to avoid ?polypharmacy,” or overmedication; and why the appearance of generic pills can change from one prescription refill to the next.
n Each entry includes a color-correct image of the medication?unlike most books that include the images in a separate section
--Over 1,200 color images of pills?more than any other book on the market?make identifying
medications easy and minimize the risk of error...whether brand name or generic
--A bulleted list tells you what your health-care professional needs to know before you start taking a specific drug
--Important details about how and when to take a drug for maximum effectiveness
--A separate section explains exactly what to do if you miss a dose
--Content updated at press time to guarantee the most current information available
--Concise and consistent format helps readers find what they need easily
