Publisher's Synopsis
More than just a word book, this easy-to-use reference gives readers quick and easy access to the correct spelling and capitalization of over 25,000 drug names, their primary uses, and usual methods of administration. Completely updated every year, it now identifies the drug class for each entry, such as "quinolones," and "lazaroids." Includes over 500 new listings of medical herbs and provides a comprehensive list of "street drug" slang cross-references to the proper drug name.
