Average Rating: 
Rating: - Use Quick Look more
On the rare occassion I cannot find the drug in the Quick Look book I can find it quickly in the Saunders book.
Rating: - Saunders Pharma ceutical Word Book
This Word Book is WONDERFUL, and definitely should be with anyone doing medical transcription! The format makes it very easy to locate drug names, and even note briefly what the drug is used for.
At tne back of the book are some helpful areas, i.e. "most prescribed drugs", "therapeutic drug levels", "sound-alikes" and MORE! If you do NOT have this book in your library, you need to order it immediately!
Rating: - Excellent drug reference for Medical Transcriptionists
This book has everything. I know that after I check my other resources, the internet, and this book, then the drug will not be found with the description provided and I know I can leave a blank without fear of being accused of doing an incomplete job. Other transcriptionists that I have worked with highly recommended this book before I bought it so I already knew I was getting the best. I cannot wait until the 2007 version comes out on CD ROM.
Rating: - Pharmaceutical Book 2006
It's very helpful in looking for drug names, whether they are generic or brand names. It is the best pharmaceutical book I have found so far.
Rating: - Wouldn't want to work without it!
As a medical transcriptionist, this is one of my favorite reference books. I get an updated Saunders Pharmaceutical Word Book every few years. I work from home and have a full reference library in my home office. I can't transport them all, of course; but this one comes back and forth with me if I ever have to work from the hospital location.
