Published in large-format softcover binding with a full-color atlas section showing the most commonly encountered reactions, Drug Eruption Reference Manual 2001 catalogs more than 700 generic and over 4,200 trade-name drugs - cross-referenced for quick look-up - with their adverse cutaneous reactions: skin, hair, nails, mucous membranes, and others. The new edition provides sections on herbals, botanicals, trace elements and supplements, more reaction patterns and the drugs responsible for them, including indications, category, half-life and major interactions. The updated literature citations include over 18,000 references, many pre-MEDLINE and some going back as far as 1922. Drug Eruption Reference Manual 2001 contains 332 references to 64 different reaction patterns caused by carbamazepine, 177 references to lupus erythematosus caused by procainamide, and thousands more. Indexed by both generic and proprietary drug names and by reaction patterns it provides the information you need quickly and easily.
