"The book entitled Side Effects of Drugs Annual, edited by Dr. S. D. Ray, is an invaluable asset for clinicians, health care practitioners in general, research scientists, and anyone concerned about the potential side effects of drugs that they may be recommending or using. It is also a tremendous resource for the knowledgeable and health conscious consumer.
"The book is published annually and therefore provides the latest information worldwide regarding all major classes and groups of drugs. The book contains 47 chapters that address side effects of specific drugs, as well as indexes of drugs involved in adverse drug reactions, drug-drug interactions, and adverse effects and adverse reactions. The various chapters are written by leading scholars in their respective fields of study and practice, and Dr. Ray continues to do a superb job of compiling and editing a large volume of exceedingly useful scientific information."--Sidney J. Stohs, Ph.D., R.Ph., ATS, FAPHA, FACN, CNS, FASAHP, Dean Emeritus, Creighton University School of Pharmacy and Health Professions, Creighton University Medical Center, and former holder of the Taffe Endowed Chair in Pharmaceutical Sciences
