Poor quality, great content

Poor quality, great content
The book content is great. The physical book quality is very poor. It fell apart the first week I used it and I’m a very busy student- no time to order another one. Here I am ordering another one after only one semester of use, bc it completely fell apart. As you can see the book overall isn’t in poor condition- but I can’t be constantly concerned w the pages falling out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing pharm book

It sucks that they don’t make this book anymore. This is the great book. If you are any kind of provider or practitioner or student, I highly recommend this book. Yes it’s 2018 edition. But basic stuff won’t change much anyway so it helps a lot.
It’s smaller than I expected. I guess it’s a good size to put it in a pocket and carry it around.

For a little guidebook, I was impressed. It went into depth on the antiparasitics and even had info on eyeVermectin (misspelling intentional) as well as the pediatric dosing for head lice treatment, etc. I also liked the section on vitamins.

Everything you need regarding medication is in this little booklet that fits in your pocket. Use this during rotations. I love how small it is. Many other providers have mentioned that this is also their favorite book and edition regarding medications, doses, ADRs, and much more. A must-need for anyone in medicine.

I love this little pharmacopoeia. Was shocked I cannot purchase any future updated volumes. Been carrying one since 1999. Bought last one which is 2018. Glad I have that.
