Lippincott 2012 Drug Guide Review

Nice book. You are able to look up a lot of drugs currently being used. Purchasing on-line def. saved some $ vs. Barnes and Noble too. It's a must have for RN school.

The chapters are logically organized and the review questions and rationales are thorough. The answers and rationals are next to the questions, which can be mediated by using a scrap piece of paper to cover the answers. I will say that it's human nature to inadvertently let a wandering eye peek at the answers on the next page and it takes a little training to purposely not look at the next page when flipping. Additionally, the book uses generic and brand names for the drug questions, which does not reflect the newest format of the NCLEX. If you're hoping to practice pharm questions without brand names, I'd recommend a different book for that.

This is my go-to book while working at the Urgent Care. I have used it for 12 months and have found good guidance and definitely no glaring errors, merely two slight differences of interpretations on guidance (i.e. mg/kg/day of amoxicillin quantity required for pediatric acute otitis media), but both the book and my preference are within guidelines.

This book is exactly what I expected.  Delivery was prompt.  I used to purchase each updated edition at CVS pharmacy, but they no longer carry it. Very please to have been able to get it through Amazon.

Very good book. It is written for the lay person. I am a clinical pharmacist and still refer to it to check on some tests that I sometimes just don't remember every nuance associated with the test

This is the very best pharmaceutical book I have ever owned.
What makes it so worth the price is that not only are the drugs
listed alphabetically by name, but also you can reference them by
use- for example "Otic preparations" "Opthalmic analgesics" and etc...
Plus, it is very complete in giving you a wide range of dosages and is very inclusive of all veterinary drugs on the market. Truly a wonderful book.

I am going to take the PHR in a couple months (January 2016) to be exact and I want to know if this book will still be a great study guide to use? I ask because it states on the cover updated for the 2012 exams so I am afraid it may be outdated. Please advise. Thanks!

Good and solid review of lipid metabolism and studies. Not helpful for more complicated treatment - refer to AHA guidelines that were recently updated

This is a great book for Pharmacology, and I like that the author's list their references and suggest other literature for more information. It is very thorough. There is one issue with this book, the chapter on the ANS (Chp. 6) in regards to pharmacology of the eye (and how it pertains to glaucoma). It depicts the production of aqueous humor incorrectly in the drawing. It is produced by the ciliary body (more proximal to the iris than illustrated). I have checked other sources (one listed here: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3032230/), and was made aware of this by a professor of Pharmacology. I am hoping that the author's corrected it for the 12th edition, and if not, hopefully for the one after that. Either way, I wanted to bring it to the attention of other readers. Other than that it has been a very good book along with the "Pocket Atlas of Pharmacology".

<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Pharmacology-Recall-Recall-Wolters-Kluwer/dp/0781787300/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Pharmacology Recall (Recall (Wolters Kluwer))</a>&nbsp;This small book is worth far more than it's price. It's well-written and can get your up to speed in pharmacology review very quickly. The Power Review in the back of the book is well worth the price of the book alone but coupled with the material in the chapters, it's a "must-have" for USMLE review. The chapters are written the the Recall series question-format which means that you can cover the answers for self-study and mastery. The material is organized in pharmaceutical class format with any exceptions to class behavior fully explained. The only drawback of this book would be the lack of trade names but coupled with on line lookup, you can easily fill in the trade names. I used a previous edition of this book when I was a medical student and found that I wanted the latest edition for my home medical library. This is an excellent resource to read and re-read on a regular basis which can be easily accomplished in a couple of settings.

I work in the substance abuse treatment field, and have used the Nursing Drug Handbook for several years. I like the organization of drugs by classes, and the descriptions (pharmacology, indications, side effects, dosages, formulations and routes of administration, interactions with other drugs) are concise and informative. Although intended for a medical context, it has served me well in my work, and my colleagues frequently borrow it when they have questions about client medications and how they relate to client substance abuse and mental/behavioral health issues. I have looked at similar items, but have found this one best suited for what I do.

The publication, Drug Muggers by Suzy Cohen, is a treasure-trove of good information in many areas of health-based interest. This time my concern was on "high blood pressure." Drug Mugger's Index on the subject led me to a very good and indepth study on Calcium (and WHY) and its requirement to be taken with magnesium, vitamin K, silica and vitamin D3. This was especially of interest in my concern of calcium's  calcification of the arteries. As a result, I am making the adjustments and will give my reasons why to my V.A. doctors. I learned some very relevant info on a problem with the use of my hypertension medication and calcium and more . . . to separate calcium's use with thyroid medications by 4 hours - which Suzy says is important! Learning what I have learned, I will use this publication much more often in the future. Thank you Suzy and Amazon.com.

I purchased this particular publication through Premier Book Dealers in August of 2011, an excellent dealer-asscociate of Amazon.com, my primary book seller. Just this month I have ordered 4 items (3 books and a hard-to-get video) through Amazon.com and I must say that I am very pleased with Amazon's services.

Nursing 2013 Handbook is a wonderful reference book for those who either give or take prescription drugs.  I've ordered it yearly when working as an RN and stopped when I retired.  I found I needed it while taking care of family members and friends, so I ordered it from Amazon.  The only disappointment is that the CD with printable drug info for patient teaching is no longer sent inside the back cover.

This seems to be a very good practical and useful to refer to textbook. I would recommend it to be read.

This book is in great condition, almost brand new. Description accurate.  It is perfect for my pharmacy law class and even though I chose the older edition, all of the information contained in it, has so far been sufficient.  Highly recommend this seller, received quickly.  Will buy from this seller again.

This is a very complete pharmacology review resource.  I really like the summary cards at the beginning that review general pharm concepts and provide lists of various drug classes.  I also appreciate the illustrations on the front of some of the drug cards that diagram where/how the drug acts.  These flashcards could be used for both Step1 review or for studying during a pharmacology course.

The Handbook is an excellent resource  for pharmacists and other health care professionals who are seeking up-to-date and comprehensive information on medications.  It also contains an appendix filled with the latest clinical considerations involving the proper dosing and monitoring of medications, as well as comparative drug charts of
selected therapeutic categories.
