Safe and effective prescribing is a cornerstone of proper patient
care. There has in recent years been a significant increase in the
numbers of healthcare professionals able to prescribe; however,
sources of drug information tend to focus on only one area of
prescribing. The Oxford Handbook ofPractical Drug Therapy links
practical information about how to use medicines with concise
details about the pharmacology of a drug, and the principles of
clinical pharmacology that govern its action.
The overall structure of this handbook is similar to the UK
national formulary, with topics on each drug arranged broadly by
therapeutic category. When a drug has several different uses, these
are brought together in a single topic, allowing the reader to
appreciate its full range of actions, whether therapeutic or
adverse.
Each drugs topic provides information in a clearly laid out and
standardised form, and includes a graphical representation of the
pharmacological actions of the drug, and its potential uses,
practical advice on a drug's major indications, a list of common
and serious adverse effects, major drug-drug interactions,
practical advice on monitoring for therapeutic and adverse effects,
and what to tell the patient.
Teaching points throughout the text, draw out pharmacological
principles, so that readers can increase their basic knowledge by
linking theory with practical examples. Also included are several
boxes giving guidance on the approach to therapy of specific
diseases an clinical problems. In some cases, algorithms for the
treatment of medical emergencies are given, and this new edition
features case histories throughout the text to illustrate the
issues one may face in practical prescribing.
The Oxford Handbook of Practical Drug Therapy brings together for
the first time in a single book really practical information on
safe prescribing, with the background knowledge that underpins
clinical pharmacology. Fully revised with new guidance and
important safety information, this book is aimed primarily at
medical students and trainees, it will also be invaluable to family
doctors, clinical pharmacists, and nurse prescribers.
