Rating: - The PDR Pocket Guide to Prescription Drugs, 8th Edition (EAN): 8th Edition (Pdr Pocket Guide to Prescription Drugs)
Great help but needs an index of some sort. If you only have a generic name and don't know the pharmaceutical name you may be out of luck.

I wrote the review that follows in 2004 for the Sixth Edition. Since that time, many new prescription drugs have been added to the physician's arsenal, so I bought the eighth edition to keep up with changing drugs. In my opinion, it's even better than the book I bought five years ago.
Here are two benefits that make this book so valuable:
1. I can see what the actual pill should look like, an especially valuable benefit because my mother is now forgetful.

Rating:  - new edition not very new
i have the 5th edition PDR pocket guide. I figured it was time to update. To my dismay, the drugs i am using, or wanted to researh were not in there. I think this a re-packaged '05 ed. not an '08. Some meds that are 18-24 months old were not included.
My advice--save your money--maybe the next on will be "caught up " by then. Or go to your local bookseller and actuall look at it before you buy.

Rating: - good but big
The organization and extensiveness of this book is very useful, however, I was expecting a POCKET guide, and this wouldn't fit in any respectable pocket.
Rating: - Prescription Reference
This book is a must for anyone who wants to find their dos and nots regarding their prescription if it is Truly Right for them.
