Summary: Healthcare workers need this book
Review: If you work in the healthcare profession, you should immediately buy this book - unless you're holding out for the new book (2003). I use this book at least once a week at work (I work in a long term care pharmacy) and it never disappoints. The old drugs as well as the new drugs are in there, when the drug has been discontinued as well as the therapeutic classes. And if you're trying to figure out what Paxipam is or whether there's a new formulation for Dimetapp, this book can help you out.
If you're involved in any way with drugs (pharmacy, nursing, medical records/transcriptionist, etc) you'll find this book to be a goldmine of information.
Buy it, it will save you so much time, for example, when you're wondering if Percodan or Percocet has Tylenol in it and is Robitussin really guafensin.

Summary: A must have for Medical Transcriptionists
Review: The Saunders Pharmaceutical Word Book, 2002 is a must have for every medical transcriptionist. Its the only pharmaceutical book I trust. It has the most up-to-date drug information available. Tired of searching the internet for those newer drug names you just cannot find? Well with this drug book you can end those days. This book is one of very few that really is updated yearly with the new drug names and information. ...Its comprehensive and very easy to use. Its the one reference book I make sure to get yearly.
