I have purchased a new copy (or two) of the Drug Information Handbook every year for at least 10 years. Again, the Handbook is a well-organized drug reference that I rely on.

Great reference, great format, easy to use by Ernest Mrazik Jr. (Connecticut, USA)

This reference book is easy to use, very comprehensive, and a bonus section in the back of the book...treatment guidelines and algorithms. You may need many other references to complete the information contained in the Lexi-Comp Drug Information Handbook. I work in both the hospital and the retail pharmacy environment. This book serves my needs very well.

Not Well Referenced by Anonymous

This is a good handbook to have with you for on-the-go look-up of drug information (i.e. on rounds). It is a little larger than pocket size, but is just small enough to fit in the pocket of a white coat. The drug monographs are pretty good, but it is not well-referenced. This is a good place to start, but one should definitely verify the info.

Just the most relevant information about each drug is all anyone can ask for and this book provides. by Liz Corday (Miami, FL)

This book is the best compilation of all the most relevant information about each drug that I have found so far. It's very easy to locate what you're looking for since the format is very user friendly. It also has some very handy tables and charts on the back. I have used it a lot in the one month I've had it, and I am very pleased with it. It has been very helpful both for school and during rotations.

Great Gift by M. St. (Port Charlotte, Florida United States)

This was given as a gift to a new Physician's Assistant graduate. She says the book is comprehensive, and will help her greatly in her practice. She intends to use it in her office and on her rounds.
