Litt's Drug Eruption Reference Manual Including Drug Interactions, 13th Edition

Internationally relied upon by medical practitioners for its unparalleled focus on adverse effects and cutaneous reactions, Litt’s Drug Eruption & Reaction Manual is a succinct clinical reference and essential drug-safety tool for patient care. This 26th edition has been comprehensively revised and updated throughout to act as a quick reference, and each entry includes: * Summaries of numbers of reports and incidence for reactions * Clinically important and potentially hazardous drug–drug interactions * Categories of adverse drug reactions, eruptions, and cutaneous reaction patterns * Essential reference information on prescription and over-the-counter drugs as well as biologics and supplements The book contains... * A to Z listing of the 1500 most consulted generic drug and herbal drug profiles, including generic and trade names; pharmaceutical company; indications; half-life; interactions; pregnancy category; and categories of adverse reactions/eruptions, with summaries of number of reports or level of incidence of reaction * Over 31,000 adverse reactions and drug-eruption listings * Supplements, vaccines, and other biologics * Descriptions of important reactions * List of drugs that cause important reactions * List of main classes of drugs as a quick clinical reference guide * 26 tables showing the reaction profile for members of a class of drugs (such as ACE inhibitors or statins), enabling a clinician to see at a glance whether a reaction is common to all drugs included in that class, or to a majority of them, or is known in only a handful—this information can be used as the basis for an informed decision to change drugs inside the same class * 2 tables showing reported genetic associations with cutaneous adverse drug reactions and recommendations regarding genetic screening to prevent cutaneous adverse drug reactions * A concordance of synonyms and trade names for ease of cross-reference

Litt's Drug Eruption & Reaction Manual

Nearly two decades after the first Drug Eruptions & Reactions Manual was compiled by Dr. Litt, this classic work has been developed and expanded into Litt’s D.E.R.M. Relied upon by dermatologists and medical practitioners internationally for its unparalleled practical focus on adverse effects and cutaneous reactions, this text is the essential quick-reference tool for patient care and drug safety. While a comprehensive picture is available via a subscription to the online database, the manual presents the most important information for quick clinical reference – the trade names, half-life, known interactions with other drugs, the pregnancy category into which the drug falls as well as the categories of reactions and the incidence and number of reactions reported for each. The manual also offers a short description of the most common eruption patterns, lists of the drugs that cause important reactions, and a concordance of synonyms, generic names, and trade names. Although the manual has grown from a basis in dermatology, all widely used drugs are included and all types of reaction beyond those found in the skin, hair, and nails are recorded. New this year is a groundbreaking section on class reactions: ten major classes of widely used drugs (including ACE inhibitors, statins, and tricyclic antidepressants). These are presented in tabular form, showing at a glance which reactions are known to occur in all members of the class and at which levels, which occur in a majority, and which occur at significant levels for even a few members. No clinical practitioner can afford to be without this invaluable tool to help predict, diagnose, and resolve problems arising from prescribed drugs. Ideally practitioners should avial themselves of both the database and the manual, for their different purposes.

The book holds comprehensive drug information and offers an unparalleled focus on cutaneous and mucosal reaction patterns. Over 35,000 adverse reactions and drug eruptions are listed, and wherever possible, incidence levels for reactions are included. Reaction listings and incidence data are supported by thousands of up-to-date, peer-reviewed references from MEDLINE, including drug trials, review articles and case studies. Also in the 17th Edition: Pregnancy category information for over 1000 drugs, included for the first time Supplements, vaccines and other biologics also profiled Over 60 new drug profiles added
