Symptoms in the Pharmacy: A Guide to the Management of Common Illness

Rate this book
A practical and evidence-based guide for student, pre-registration and qualified pharmacists
Symptoms in the Pharmacy is an indispensable guide to the management of common symptoms seen in the pharmacy. With advice from an author team that includes both pharmacists and GPs, the book covers ailments which will be encountered in the pharmacy on a daily basis.
Now in its sixth edition Symptoms in the Pharmacy has been fully revised to reflect the latest evidence and availability of new medicines. There are new sections and case studies for 'POM' to 'P' switches including chloramphenicol, sumatriptan, diclofenac, naproxen and amorolfine. This edition features colour photographs of skin conditions for the first time enabling the differentiation and diagnosis of common complaints. The public health and illness prevention content have been expanded to support this increasingly important aspect of the pharmacist’s work.
The book is designed for quick and easy reference with separate chapters for each ailment. Each chapter incorporates a decision making framework in which the information necessary for treatment and suggestions on ‘when to refer’ is distilled into helpful summary boxes. At the end of each chapter there are example case studies providing the view of pharmacists, doctors and patients for most conditions covered. These easy-to-follow- chapters can be read cover to cover or turned to for quick reference. This useful guide should be kept close at hand for frequent consultation.

عن الكتاب : بيناقش أمراض كل جهاز فالجسم بأهم الأعراض وايه لازم اعرفه من المريض قبل التشخيص وبعدها المواد الفعالة ضد المرض والميكانيزم بتاعها ....تقسيمة الأمراض لذيذة وسهلة ومريحة .....ممكن ينتقد الكتاب لقلة المعلومات بس الكتاب عنوانه symptoms in pharmacy يعنى مش مطلوب اكتر من كده كصيدلى اتعامل معاه

الطريقة اللى اتبعتها مع الكتاب هى مذاكرة (مش قراية) مرض كل يوم او يومين وتسجيل المواد الفعالة ف كراسة ونزول الصيدلية وتسجيل الأسامى التجارية للأدوية اللى فيها المواد الفعالة ومراجعة الميكانزم تانى من البامفلت وبالنسبالى الطريقة دى كانت فعالة ومسهلة الدنيا عالآخر


شخصيا:كانت مذاكرة الكتاب ده ف فترة الاجازة احد أهداف السنة وبانتهائه اكون حققت 85% من أهداف السنادى وهيييييييه :-D :-D

كتاب بسيط ... معلوماته قليله
قريته لانه اطلب منى !!!
لا بيناقش موضوع محدد و لا بيدخل فى التفاصيل بعمق ..... بعد ما تخلصه يجيلك انطباع ان الكاتب خايف منك كصيدلى او خايف من الرقابه فكل كلامه كان فى اطار لو شفت ده referee to doctor و لو شفت ده برده referee to doctor

خاص للصيدلانيين😍
أجمل مافي الكتاب أنه مقسم حسب أجهزة الإنسان وأمراضه وعلاجه وكيفية التعامل معه، بدأ مثلاً بالجهاز التنفسي وأمراضه وكيفية تعامل الصيدلي معه وإعطاء الدواء المناسب وأهم الأسئلة التي يجب سؤال المرضى عنها قبل بيعه!
مناسب جداً للخريجين ممن يود مراجعة المعلومات.

A very practical textbook for a freshly graduated pharmacist or even a pharmacy student. I regret not having read it in my college years.

New nineth edition is covering interesting topics, but style is boring with low density of information. But there is no better choice in the current time.
