I am really disappointed in this edition. The listings are not comprehensive or thorough.
It is not what I was looking for at all. Roxannna Cecco

Better for Some Than Others, 2008-04-18
I work in a fairly large hospital pharmacy and was hoping for
a referance I could pick and use at a moment's notice. In the
couple of months I've been carrying this book around it has never
once been of any use to me.

This guide's area of speciality is aimed at the top 200 most prescribed drugs in a retail setting, an area where most experianced technicians really don't need much help. It is particulary light in the area of injectable medications used in a hospital setting.

The print is a little larger than I'd like. A lot more information or item listings could have been included if a smaller font size had been used.

For newly minted technicians working in a retail setting this book is probably worth the expense. I'm still looking for something more suitable.

Worth it, 2006-04-11
For its size it contains a great deal of information.

Do not buy this if you are looking for a very very comprehensive guide with "every" drug name there is.

I used mine alongside my studying.

If you are studying for your PTCE and watch shows like Grey's Anatomy or HOUSE (etc etc) - keep your book at hand. Just to keep you a bit more on your toes.

This is a great reference book and it fixs into your lab jacket. All the drug references in a glance.
