Customer Reviews

Excellent!
Everyone should own this book! Speaking as a pharmacist...I believe this is one of the best reference books available!

Excellent reference book
I was hoping for an alternative to the jargon laden books on drugs that most people [over]rely on. The information was concise and very readable.

The Peoples Pharmacy
The above book was supposed to be the new & revised edition. The publisher's date was sometime in the 1990's. It was a gift so I cannot remember the exact date, but it was not in any date containing the numbers 2000. The gift receipient was not impressed. When I last talked to the person to whom I gave the book, she was disappointed with what she had read so far. She said the book's hype and its contents were two different things.
