Manual of IV Medications

This manual provides information on the safe and effective use of intravenous medications. It is divided into chapters according to drug classification categories, and entries for the drugs appear alphabetically within each category, including generic and trade names, pH, pregnancy category, controlled substance schedule, and notes as to whether information is unknown or unavailable. Fast Facts, a highlighted section in every entry, presents everything necessary to mix, dilute and administer the medication, as well as dosages, incompatibility information, major side effects, antidotes and treatments for overdoses, and safe storage instruction.
