 Perscription Bible
This is the third or fouth addition I have gotten of this book. I call it my Perscription Bible and have a copy at work and at home. I never take a medication without looking it up to see what, when, where and how it works. I use it as a referernce for others as well. I have been given other books but none are as easy to use or as informative as this one.

the pill book
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 ( ethelmay03 )
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 ( dianejk079 )
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)
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.
