| An excellent book.I have been teaching clinical pharmacology from this book to paramedics,undrgraduate and postgraduate students without the need to consult bigger textbooks or reference books. It is to the point,giving the clinician/student what he wants without spending long hours in the library. My congratulations to the authors for writing such an excellent book. |

| The PDR tells you all the problems with side effects with drugs--I use it all the time to look up drugs as a medical secretary. However, this book is a lot easier to read for a layperson.
The warning, "Consumer beware!" is crucial in the matter of prescription drugs, and Dr. Bosker's book can greatly assist you in educating yourself about them. He states which medications work, which ones don't, which are unacceptably unsafe, and which ones are dangerous in combination with each other in these areas: childhood disease, heart disease, high blood pressure, psychiatric problems, asthma, allergies, skin conditions, stroke, headaches, gastrointestinal problems, infections, cancer, HIV, osteoporosis, arthritis, pain relief, prostate problems, menopause, contraception, and life extension. <p>Though Dr. Bosker's book covers an intimidating subject in a very comprehensive way, fortunately, his writing is clear and straightforward and the book is well laid out, so it is easy to use. An index and table of contents allow you to look up the specific medications you're interested in and zip to the section that covers them. There is also a bibliography of references, if you want to do further reading, and a list of organizations which can give you more information about prescription drugs.<p>I believe this important reference book should be in every American home, particularly those with children on medications or with elderly people who have multiple prescriptions.
The copy I have read was published in 1997 by Harmony books and probably pretty much similar to this 1998 edition. Dr. Bosker displays a great courage in exposing some of the money savings the managed care organizations. Dr. Bosker explains that generics are possibly not as effective as originals but they are pushed anyway to save money. How many of us were repeatedly assured that they use same chemicals and they are same. You will love MedRANK Life checklists and find out if your medications are the optimal ones subscribed for the ailment. I enjoyed the book and consider it a gift of service to all of us by Dr. Gideon Bosker. |
