Internationally relied upon by medical practitioners for its unparalleled focus on adverse effects and cutaneous reactions, Litt's Drug Eruption & Reaction Manual is a succinct clinical reference and essential drug-safety tool for patient care. This 27th edition is a comprehensively revised and updated quick reference, and each entry includes:
* Quantitative summaries of reports and incidence for reactions
* Drug-drug interactions
* Categories of adverse drug reactions, eruptions, and cutaneous reaction patterns
* Essential reference information on prescription and over-the-counter drugs as well as herbals and supplements

The book contains...

* A to Z listing of the 1500 most consulted drug and herbal profiles, including generic name and trade names; pharmaceutical company; indications; half-life; and pregnancy category

* Includes supplements, vaccines, and botanicals
* Clinical definitions of common and severe adverse reactions
* List of drugs that cause severe adverse reactions
