Tarascon Pocket Pharmacopoeia 2014: Lab-Coat Edition

This book is great! I'm in PA school and sometimes struggle to remember dosing and indications for some drugs. This is a great way to quickly look them up, especially if you don't have time to look online. If you aren't sure what to prescribe for a certain disease, I recommend the disease edition. This book will NOT help if you don't know which medication you're looking for. The book is a little big so it may not be great for a lab coat, but depending on the size of your lab coat it maybe will fit. At the very least, it doesn't take up much space so it would be a great desk reference for any medical professional dealing with prescribing medications.

If you want or need to know about rx drugs and otc drugs, this is the book for you . It is concise and very useful if you work in a pharmacy or clinic, etc. I am a pharmacist and have used it often in the hospital and in the clinic. May be a little too difficult to read if you do not have a background in pharmacy or medicine.

I order this each year and use it instead everday in my practice.reattach a great Reference. It is is easy to use, the large print is very helpful and it has enough details about dosages, use in pregnancy, breast feeding, pediatrics and it discusses on label and off label uses, which is extremely helpful.

Wow! This baby is getting hefty. Over the years it has gotten thicker. But only in part due to more and more meds. The editors are also providing tons more info about the meds. I have mobile pharm apps but using this is quicker for the basics. If I want mechanisms of action, interactions in details, etc. then of course I'll turn to an app but for an easy to see list in a class of meds or dosing,!this is my go-to resource.

This book was not exactly pocket size like the regular version, unless you mean takes up the entire side pocket and in that case it is. Also doesn't include the mechanism of action of any of the drugs which is unfortunate. The font is also larger which is what makes the book so much bigger. If it were the same size as the regular version the book would probably be a much more portable size.

I buy one of these every year to use in my practice. It is a quick and easy to use reference. The book gets thicker and thicker each year, which means that there is more information to know every year! This will keep you up to date!

I have been buying the Tarascon series for years and have used them in my primary care practice as well as Urgent Care and the Emergency Dept. I advise every resident and medical student to get the Pharmacopoeia every year but also to get the specific edition for their rotations. These are my first reference when on the go and have saved me many hours of internet searches! Please, please don't stop printing these valuable resources!

Umm this was way bigger than I expected. Comprehensive and really good but not really that portable.

Really happy with product and delivery
