Book SynopsisAdverse reactions to medicines continue to present a considerable burden on healthcare, causing considerable morbidity and mortality. As well as knowing about the benefits of medicines, healthcare professionals need to understand the problem of adverse drug reactions and be aware of how they can be prevented and managed.
Trade Review'this book should be kept on the shelf to be used for frequent reference by professionals in primary care...while detailed in places...it is extremely readable and contains enough breadth to make it suitable for those who are visiting the topic for the first time.'
