An indispensable compendium of interactions, side effects, contraindications, and more... Makes safe prescribing easier than ever!

Cross referenced to the 2004 PDR®, this time-saving, index-based clinical reference makes safe, appropriate drug selection faster and easier than ever before. The Companion Guide is an all-in-one resource that complements your 2004 PDR®, PDR® for Nonprescription Drugs and Dietary Supplements, and PDR® for Ophthalmic Medicines.

It contains nine critical prescription checkpoints in one convenient, easy-to-use volume. You’ll find:

Interactions Index—identifies all pharmaceuticals and supplements capable of interacting with a given medication.

Food Interactions Cross-Reference—lists drugs that may interact with a given dietary item.

Side Effects Index—pinpoints the pharmaceuticals associated with more than 3,800 distinct adverse reactions.

Indications Index—presents the full range of therapeutic options approved for a given diagnosis.

Off-Label Treatment Guide—lists medications routinely used—but never officially approved—for treatment of nearly 1,000 specific disorders.

Contraindications Index—instantly alerts you to any conflicts between the patient’s condition and a proposed course of drug therapy.

International Drugs Guide—names the U.S. equivalents of some 14,000 foreign medications.

Generic Availability Table—shows which forms and strengths of a brand-named drug can be dispensed generically.
