Complementary and Alternative Therapies tables highlight significant dietary and herbal interactions with FDA-approved drugs.
NEW! Thoroughly updated content reflects the latest drug information and current thinking on pharmacologic management.
NEW macro- and chapter-level organization is based on body systems rather than drug classes, for better coverage of the medications prescribed for the health problems affecting specific body systems.
NEW and UNIQUE! Chapter format begins with an overview of anatomy, physiology, and disease processes - as opposed to drug classes or drug types - and then follows the World Health Organization's Process for Rational Prescribing, using a six-step approach to drug selection and discussing first-, second-, and third-line treatments for each specific problem.
