Based on the Physicians' Desk Reference, the most highly trusted drug information references for more than 66 years, The PDR Pocket Guide to Prescription Drugs is an A to Z listing of more than 1,000 brand-name and generic drugs, all based on FDA-approved information. The guide answers frequently asked questions such as: Why was this drug prescribed for me? What are the benefits and risks of taking this drug? Are there any side effects I should watch for? What questions should I ask my doctor about this prescription?
Not much to say about this excellent reference book except that I don't know what kinds of pockets they think I have. The "doorstop guide to prescription drugs" is more like it. We had one in the house at all times while I was growing up and I find this is a much better resource than the internet, just because you don't have to sift through as much questionable material when all you really want to know is whether a specific side effect is normal, or if you can take NSAIDs with your antidepressant.
