Tarascon Pocket Pharmacopoeia: 2005 Deluxe Lab-Coat Pocket Edition

I've used these books since medical school and still go back to it when I can't find what I need on my palm pilot. It sorts drugs alphabetically and by class and even gives a relative cost estimate. It has an index and also other little tidbits, like algorithms for ACLS, conversion charts, and skin dermatomes. There is nothing that you will ever buy that will give you the same value. It is available in two sizes; I prefer the pocket sized, and I usually get one for the office and leave one in my clinical jacket. It also lists some drugs that are no longer popular, but still necessary at times, such as IV vasotec dosing.

Excellent value for this product. Coated cover is ideal for patient interaction and lab work.

What if your palm battery dies?

The Tarascon Pocket Pharmacopoeia is slim, thorough, and well designed for the busy prescriber. It makes a great and speedy reference book for the pharmacologist. I keep it in my pocket!!

Everyone needs this in their pocket to quickly look up dosages when writing scripts. Quicker than PDA.
