Consumer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Nice to have Comment: This book is nice to have, but goes out of date almost before you can get it shipped. It's what it is, and I like to have it around the house. Customer Rating: Summary: The PDR Family Guide to Prescription Drugs Comment: A ready reference for the family home, highly recommended. Customer Rating: Summary: Good but not enough Comment: With big letter, easy to understand language (most of the time), sounds a good alternative than to buy the original PDR for medics (cheaper too). But lacks a lot of new medicines that had been inroduce to the market by the aggressive style of the pharmaceuticals. You can find basic and most common prescriptions drugs but today (2006), there are a lot more and probably, the next one your doctor recommends you. Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent reference, but ... Comment: This book is basically the same as The PDR Pocket Guide to Prescription Drugs, except in a different format. The physical dimensions of this book is larger, not as many pages, and the print is somewhat larger. Information on drugs is taken from the same source (Physicans Desk Reference). There are some brief chapters in the back of this book on common medical problems. This edition was published in 2002 (so it was based on the 2001 PDR). I would suggest the PDR Pocket Guide because it is more recent and there is a new edition of the Guide due out soon. Nonetheless this is an excellent reference book to have in your home. For some people the format and size of the book and additional chapters may make this a good choice. It is just a little dated. Customer Rating: Summary: The PDR Family Guide to Prescription Drugs Comment: I found this publication to be exactly what I wanted as a reference book for prescription drugs. It has complete information about the drugs as well as color pictures of each.
