Dictionary of Drugs Now

From everyday aspirin and vitamin tablets to the powerful agents prescribed for heart disease and caner, A Dictionary of Drugs spans the gamut of drugs in today’s pharmaceutical armoury.

The various compounds are arranged alphabetically, and also conveniently indexed according to the illnesses for which they are prescribed and by their common trade names. The chemical makeup, effects, and possible side effects (if any) are dealt with fully and unsensationally.

A Dictionary of Drugs is not a guide to self-dosage, and should not be used as a substitute for professional medical guidance. But for anyone concerned with the effects on mind and body of the medicines our doctors prescribe, this book, now revised and updated, will prove a valuable and lucid source of expert information, vital reading for our pill-taking age.
