Summary: Just an Advertisement for the Drug Industry
Review: The 3rd cause of death in the United States is, no, not AIDS or heart attacks, but from pharmaceutical drugs prescribed by doctors and properly administered. Shame on the FDA.
This book, The PDR Family Guide to Prescription Drugs is nothing more than an advertisement for the Drug Industry. The Physician's Desk Reference, on the other hand, is for medical doctors and contains vital information on all popular drugs prescribed today. Information from the pharmaceutical companies, how the drug should be used, how it should not be used, and most importantly, the contra-indications ("side-effects"). The side-effects of many of todays drugs are astounding and anyone considering taking them should be fully informed to make a conscious choice. The PDR (Physicians Desk Reference) for the current year is the book to buy for this vital information, not the Family Guide.
