I have been buying the Nursing Drug Handbook for many many years and I am very unhappy with the format of this year's book. What I liked about the older versions was you could go to a chapter i.e.: Antidepressants and look through the entire class of drugs alphabetized. This book is all drug classes alphabetized by generic name, now if I'm not aware of say a newly approved antidepressant it will take me a VERY LONG time to discover it and having to look up every drug by knowing it's generic name is not user friendly. The material is great but the format change is horrible. I would not recommend this book and if the current format remains I will pass on the book in the future. Drugs listed in chapter, classification format was sooo much better. Also in the past my book has included a cd or a code to access drug info on-line so I could print out info for my patients, this book did not and when I went to NDHnow.com....I couldn't access info because I had no access code in my book.By E.

The Nursing Drug Handbook of 2013 is a must for anyone suffering from medical issues. It is a great tool for family and friends as well. This is a comprehensive report about prescription medication. It gives the reader detailed information not usually provided by the prescribing physician. The information will include such things as why the prescription is usually written, what the medicine actually does, possible side effects and drug interaction issues and an explanation of how long it takes to reach its maximum usefulness in the average person.By Blade
