Reviews of the Previous Edition:

"The simple precaution of checking facts in any unfamiliar prescribing situation is likely to prevent mistakes, and exemplifies current emphasis on safe practice and clinical risk management."
—Professor C.M. Black (Past President of the Royal College of Physicians)

"Do not rely on your memory when prescribing drugs – it is fallible. This neat vade mecum puts the information you need at your fingertips."
—Professor R.M. Kirk (former member of the Royal College of Surgeons’ Council)

"A pocket book that is truly pocketable, every medical student and junior doctor should carry this book…If you’re unsure about prescribing a drug, a quick glance at the relevant page in this book will tell you everything you need to know … I really cannot recommend Pocket Prescriber highly enough."
—Oxford Medical School Gazette
