Drugs in Psychiatry by Basant K Puri

This highly practical pocket book covers all the major psychotropic medications describing indications, contra-indications and cautions; practical details on how to use the drug (including details on how to initiate the treatment); the side-effects to look out for; clinically important interactions with other drugs; drug monitoring and other investigations that need to take place while the patient is taking the medication; and what the patient should be told. Icons are used throughout the text making it easy to find information on the structure, dose and side-effects of each drug. Introductory chapters describe the theory behind drug use in psychiatry and the principles of psychopharmacology. The book is organised by drug class for ease of navigation.
