`Review from previous edition This is an ideal book to have on your
person, and quickly refer to while on the wards. It does not claim
to be a pharmacology textbook, or an encyclopedia of reported drug
usage consequences, but a handbook - and whithin that role, it does
the job superbly. It does what it says on the cover 'practical drug
therapy'. Those in their clinical years of medical school and
perhaps house-officers would find this a useful
companion.'
