Description
Today's therapeutic drugs are capable of beneficial results but can also cause great harm, especially if administered to the wrong patient in the wrong dosage. This book is devoted to the perception, measurement and management of therapeutic risk, and outlines the results of a conference on the subject held in Brighton, Sussex in June 1987 - a joint enterprise between the Trust for Education and Research in Therapeutics, London, and the Drug Safety Research Trust, Southampton. It examines the results of dispensing drugs, the rarity or seriousness of attendant risks involved and the manner in which therapeutic drugs can be measured and controlled. This book will be of interest to medical practitioners, the pharmaceutical industry and any regulatory body which has to make decisions about the relative risks and benefits of medicines.
