The A-Z section provides succinct information on each drug including uses, limitations, administration directions and adverse effects.

This revised edition includes seventeen new drug monographs and covers several new topics, including blood glucose management. A colour chart showing drug compatibility for intravenous administration is included at the back of the book.
