It is the most reliable pharmacy reference in existence because it is the most comprehensive and timely. First published in 1959 - over a decade before the invention of the microprocessor that made electronic versions of AHFS DI possible - the "Big Red Book", as it has come to be known, has gone the extra mile for pharmacists and healthcare professionals seeking answers to the most detailed questions.
AHFS DI is well-poised to be this meticulous because it is free from the influence of manufacturers, insurers, regulators, and other special interests, giving you an unbiased source of evaluative drug information.
AHFS DI has been a staple in the library of pharmacists and
healthcare professionals for over four decades. We are confident that it will continue to be popular for many years to come, taking its place alongside its companion electronic version. Why? Because in a single volume you get:
- The latest commentary on a wide array of FDA-approved uses and comprehensive coverage of unlabeled uses - Exhaustive analysis of drug interactions, cautions, and toxicity - Detailed information on dosage and methods of administration - Thorough examination of well-established laboratory and test inferences - Rigorous investigation of chemistry and stability - Scientific coverage of pharmacology and pharmacokinetics - Complete lists of commonly available prescription, OTC, ophthalmic, and dermatologic drugs, in addition to vitamins and parenteral nutrition products.
