Overview

The Practitioner's Quick Reference to Nonprescription Drugs contains concise information derived from the American Pharmacists Association's comprehensive Handbook of Nonprescription Drugs: An Interactive Approach to Self-Care, 16th edition. The book features 25 common self-treatable conditions and focuses on content that practitioners are most likely to need during self-care consultations with patients. Conditions covered include acne, musculoskeletal disorders, the common cold, cough, fever, and headache. The Practitioner's Quick Reference to Nonprescription Drugs is a must-have resource for busy health care practitioners. KEY FEATURES: Each chapter begins with an algorithm that presents treatment and follow-up recommendations as well as exclusions for self-treatment. The accompanying text expands on the algorithm's recommendations and includes essential additional information (e.g., cautions and contraindications, drug interactions) plus brief background information on the condition. Valuable appendices cover administration guidelines for nasal and ophthalmic dosage formulations, FDA pregnancy risk categories, and recommended intakes of vitamins and minerals. Tables, bulleted key points, and detailed index make quick lookups easy.
