Customer Reviews:
Excellent little handbook November 18, 2008 This book is so easy to use compared to some other pocket-sized guides. The info is somewhat minimal, but still impressive for such a tiny book, and very up-to-date.
Tarascon pocket pharmacopia October 25, 2008 A really handy book to have in my briefcase as I need it when traveling on business.
Pocket Pharmacopoeia October 24, 2008 It's a nice pocketbook for quick reference that you can carry in your white coat; not detailed if you're looking for in-depth answers.
How do you write for that again? August 30, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
In the hospital: When your resident asks you to write orders for 17 medicines on one patient, you'll be glad you have this... It's in everyone's pocket. Make sure you have this year's copy. This is the one with small print and no spiral binding. This is almost ALWAYS quicker than the PDA. I've raced people. Also, no batteries to rely on.
