Description

"Kaplan & Sadock's Pocket Handbook of Psychiatric Drug Treatment" covers the entire spectrum of clinical drug therapy for adults, elderly adults, pregnant and nursing women, and children. Drugs are listed alphabetically, for quick navigation, and each drug entry includes name, molecular structure, dosing, pharmacological actions, indications and clinical applications, side effects and adverse/allergic reactions, and drug interactions. In the front are tables listing the chapters where each drug is discussed and the common disorders for which each is used. Color drug plates in the front help with rapid recognition of all major drugs.
