Now more than ever, it is crucial to take an active role in mana-ging one's own health care. One way to do this is to know as much as possible about the drugs you take. The new 2004 edition of the Consumer Drug Reference (CDR) can help. Unlike other drug references, the CDR relies solely on medical experts for its facts-not drug manufacturers' package inserts. These experts have worked with the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) to bring you: -Unbiased, authoritative information on more than 11,000 drugs, including vitamins and minerals, and the newest drugs -Full-color identification chart of pills and tablets -Drug precautions and side effects you should know before using -Free link to USP's website for new and additional drug listings.
