With the range of psychotropic drugs expanding and the usages of existing medications diversifying, we are pleased to present this very latest edition of what has become the indispensable formulary in psychopharmacology. This new edition features 16 added new drugs, including six fresh-to-market critical new compounds, and several older drugs for which there are proven and useful applications. In addition, many important new indications are covered for existing drugs, as are updates to the profiles of the entire content and collection. With its easy-to-use, template-driven navigation system, The Prescriber's Guide combines evidence-based data with clinically informed advice to support everyone prescribing in the field of mental health.
This is an amazing resource to have on hand. I enjoyed the layout of the physical text more than I liked my electronic copy, but love the idea of having this with me in my clinical practice area. I highly recommend this prescribing guide.
I use this book everyday...it is one of the better (if not the best) guides available for psychopharm for APRN/MD or anyone working in psychiatry and handling medications. It covers adults and children...and has a great section on stopping medications as well as augmenting options.
A very complete pharmacotherapy manual, but sometimes hard to understand by oneself (maybe not for an expert, but surely for a student or someone just interested in knowing about the functioning of the pharmacos in our cerebral system).
