 the pill book September 6, 2008
The Pill Book was very useful for my drug listing I had to do for school.
It provided me with concise, useful information on the drugs that I was researching.
I recommend other people to use the Pill Book.
 Much needed update August 17, 2008
Anyone that has bought a previous edition, will want to update as this edition has many newer drugs that were not previously available. Only complaint is that it would be good to have pictures of the generics as so many people can no longer afford the brand name, and the generic pill can look very different.
 handy quick reference July 31, 2008
handy guide for people who work in the nursing, mental health field or if you're just intersted in knowing about diffenet types of medications.
One that I highly recommend is Worst Pills Best Pills, which comes out with a new edition every few years. Excellent!
The Pill Book (13th Edition) July 28, 2008
It is so important for those of us who take meds to have a copy of a book telling us the side effects of those meds, and listing the various meds which fall into the same family, mostly, but not limited to being able to watch and guard against being mistakenly prescribed something to which we are allergic, even when our doctors and pharmacies know to what we are allergic. We are that last line of defense against such things happening. Then last, but certainly not the least, to know the possible side effects of such meds, and other information such as warnings for each med. I like this particular book finding it more informative than others I've bought, and buy an updated copy at least every couple of years, but more preferably every year.
It's good. July 24, 2008
It is has a very extensive picture guide but appears to be incomplete. I found pills the other day that couldn't be identified with the book.
