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.

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.

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.
