Still a helpful resource
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Excellent resource for drug information in a hurry - the most useful aspect for me in my practice is the information as to whether a drug is available in a generic form yet (very handy in these days of two-tiered co-pays). There is a table of comparative efficacies of different lipid-lowering agents. The chart of comparative strength for topical steroids is handy, as is the information on what forms and what size tubes the topicals come in. There is a nice asthma section with tables of expected peak flows, colors of different inhalers (patients never remember the names), and an asthma action plan to give patients. Finally, there is a handy little dermatome drawing and reminders of which nerve root innervates which muscles and reflexes (have to refresh my memory on those every few months).I use Lexi-Comp's Drug Information Handbook often, too - especially for CYP450 interactions and half-lives - but the Tarascon, pound-for-pound, beats it (and Lexi-Comp does not have the generic info).
as good as always

As indispensable as always, especially for those of us not yet ready for the PDA revolution. As this edition has a glued-end binding to accomodate more pages than the previous fold-and-staple editions, I will be currious to see how it stands up to constant use. So far, so good: it has remained stable for the past month in-and-out of this med-student's pocket.
