The Benefit/Risk Ratio - A Handbook for the Rational Use of Potentially Hazardous Drugs (Hardcover, illustrated edition)

The use of drugs as remedies for various types of diseases has a long tradition; however, it has only been recently recognized that the value of any given compound must be evaluated in light of its benefit to risk ratio. When prescribing drugs, physicians must look at the big picture of the drug's benefits in relation to its side effects and possible toxicity. The aim of this handbook is to compile data from various authors, providing clinicians with data that will optimize their decision making in selecting effective, low-risk drug treatments. It also provides research workers, including physicians, pharmacists, and basic scientists, with a sound basis for increasing knowledge of the risk/benefit ratios of various drugs. Includes detailed assessments of the following types of drugs: oAntihypertensive agents oDiuretics oAnti-diabetic drugs oAnticonvulsant drugs oDrugs for Parkinson's disease oAntihistamines and antiserotonins oCytokines and immunomodulators oNon-opioid analgesics and anti-inflammatory agents oAntibacterial agents oAntiviral agents oDrugs used in reproductive endocrinology oSystemic drugs for skin diseases oTopical liposome drugs oTopical glucocorticoids
