Saunders Pharmaceutical Word 2008 by A. Lee  5 Stars
September 18, 2008
I am a medical transcriptionist and I buy this book every year. It is a wonderful quick reference. When using the Internet I have found drugs can come up with multiple spellings. To prevent multiple Internet searches, I use this book for accurate spelling of drugs.

Great pharmacy book! by Shan (Norman, Ok)  4 Stars
March 05, 2008
This pharmacy drug book helps me out a lot with my medical transcription job I do from home. It has the generic in lower case so I know when I am transcribing if I should capitalize it or not. It has the doses that the medication comes in and that helps. I like this book the best from all the other pharmacy drug books I've seen.
