Recenzje

"This is a much-needed reference with good and precise explanations of relevant drugs. One of the noteworthy aspects is that the authors have tried their best to translate the important information into a concise but effective format. The authors must be applauded for maintaining the uniform presentation structure for each drug monograph. Overall, this is an excellent handbook for anybody who wants to learn about drugs at a glance or wishes a quality reference for prescribing for those with renal impairment."
