Pocket Prescriber by Timothy Richard Joseph Nichols
The 'Pocket Prescriber' fills the as-yet vacant niche for a true pocketbook providing essential clinical pharmacology information with heavy emphasis on what junior doctors most need in practice on the wards. This information includes reference details of drugs such as doses, when a drug is indicated and when not, with special attention to contraindications/ dangers and common side effects to look out for, and warn the patient of, before starting the drug. A significant section of the book is given over to dealing with common problems that arise with prescribing, for example drugs that are complicated to prescribe (e.g. insulin, anticoagulants, inotropes, controlled drugs) or where choice is difficult (e.g. antihypertensives, antibiotics). Targeted primarily at junior doctors, it will also provide basic pharmacology information and facts about each drug in order to ensure it remains accessible and a useful learning tool for students.
A pocket book that is truly pocketable, every medical student and junior doctor should carry this bookPocket Prescriber takes everything you would need from the BNF and puts it into an easy-to-read and usable format. I really cannot recommend Pocket Prescriber highly enough.
