Review: This handbook is for health professionals who need more information about the prescription and non-prescription drugs that are on the market. It begins with a dictionary of drug group names and medical terms. This is followed by drugs listed alphabetically by approved names with information about the mechanism of action, therapeutic indications and unwanted effects of the medicines. Next is a list of trade names with links to their approved names. The final list is of slang names for misused drugs.
