- Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2020A drug guide is an important tool for a nurse. I used this drug guide both in the classroom as well as in the hospital to research and look up drugs that I needed to give or study. This was one of my most utilized books in nursing school and one that I will continue to use in my nursing career. It takes time to learn how to use this book well as the index can be a bit overwhelming or confusing at first.

- Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2019I don't usually write reviews, but this book is excellent. I've had drug books from Lippincott and other sources and this one has been my favorite so far. It's easy to navigate and useful when I need to look up a drug in the clinical setting. My program required me to have this book, but I would have gotten it anyways!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2021I like this book. I'm in nursing school and I have used it a decent amount. It's helpful. Some of the organization can be confusing when it is separated into classes like "corticosteroids" rather than alphabetically (because as a new nursing student I obviously didn't know to look for these meds under their classifications.)
- Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2021Bought a used copy. Buyer advertised light wear on the book’s spine but no highlighting or writing inside. That’s what I got. Mine even included an unused access code, even though it’s probably safest to never expect a used copy to include this. Came quickly and is in near perfect condition, as buyer described. Love how this drug book is organized, and all the extra features it includes are awesome (general drug classification info, specific drug names, natural herbal product info, pediatric IV med quick chart reference, BEERS drug list, commonly confused drug names, do not crush drug list, recent drug approvals, ophthalmic medications, med administration techniques, dosage calculations, normal lab values, food sources for specific nutrients, and more).

- Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2020The book itself is great for nursing but can be a bit heavy with all the other nursing books. You can register the code and access the book online anywhere, super easy to use just type in the name of the drug and BAM there's the information! So much easier than flipping though thousands of pages.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2019I’d give it a 5/5 but Davis has something even better than this book. It is an awesome resource while in nursing school but definitely overwhelming to look at without understanding the references and key.
I HIGHLY SUGGEST investing in the ~$38 for the yearly subscription mobile app on your phone instead of this hard copy book and here’s why:
1. It updates all the time with new meds, protocols, drugs taken off the market.. so no worries with having an outdated version of the book.
2. You won’t have to carry another heavy book with you everywhere.
3. You already have a cell phone. Why not make it your accurate and easy go-to resource?
4. You can type what you’re looking for, drug brand name or trade name. It’ll suggest too if you’re not sure on spelling.
5. You can find relevant evidence based articles and topics related to the medication you are searching for.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2023Perfect condition and amazing price. Fast delivery.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2019Don't ignore the appendix in the back. Great resources! I.e. regarding insulin, injections, labs, nutrition and more. I also have a student version drug guide from another author (Mosby's) and as great as the color coding is on that, sometimes I still like to use this book it's instead. I rarely found any missing drug, but if it - was it was on their online resource.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing resource.
I have raved about this book for months to my fellow classmates.
If you are on the fence, find the newest version and buy it. You won’t regret it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great - online code is handy
Came in brand new condition. There is a code on the inside cover that you can use to access the online version which is very handy. Cheaper price than other places I looked.
