From the reviews of the second edition:“This second edition outlines the most current information and highlights drugs of abuse while providing detailed information on the mechanisms of drug-drug interactions from a forensic toxicology perspective. … Any health or forensic professional could use this book to explain the underlying pharmacology of drug-drug interactions. … laboratory scientists conducting forensic analysis of drug interactions could use it to find thorough explanations of these interactions. … the book is an excellent reference for those professionals searching for underlying mechanisms of drug-drug interactions.” (Melissa M.
