Publisher's Synopsis
Now in its 18th Edition, Litt's Drug Eruptions and Reactions Manual (D.E.R.M.), is a guide to drug eruptions, adverse reactions and clinically relevant drug-drug interactions associated with over 1,000 drugs. As a compilation of the continual updates from companion website, www.drugeruptiondata.com, this simple, well-organised book systematically catalogues adverse reactions and contains detailed profiles for drugs listed and indexed in alphabetical order.
Internationally relied on for nearly two decades by dermatologists and medical practitioners, this edition has been condensed from its predecessor to provide the most important information for quick clinical reference. Categories of reference include trade names, half-life, interactions, pregnancy, additional lists of important reactions and the drugs that cause them and a dossier of trade names, synonyms, and generic names.
Containing more than 35,000 adverse reactions, drug eruptions and cutaneous reaction patterns, the book includes prescription and over-the-counter drugs and well as biologics and supplements. Litt's D.E.R.M. also notes the number of peer-reviewed references for reaction listings and highlights clinically important and potentially serious drug-drug interactions.
