The overall goal of clinical pharmacy is to promote the correct and appropriate use of prescription and non-prescription medicinal products and devises and to minimize adverse effects. The Oxford American Handbook of Clinical Pharmacy provides an accessible and easily navigable quick-reference guide for practicing and student pharmacists. It is not just another drug book, but a complete, portable coverage of the pharmacy profession, from high-value scientific and clinical information, such as adverse drug reactions, interactions, and pharmaceutical calculations to professional issues such as ethics, practice management, evidence-based medicine, and research. It covers the main body systems and provides a wealth of practical information required by pharmacists on a day-to-day basis, including many topics not traditionally found in handbooks.
"The amount of information this small book contains is really remarkable...the best portable reference I have come across, with the topics nearly all pharmacists will find useful in their areas of clinical practice." - Doody's Notes
"This is the best protable reference I have come across with the topics that nearly all pharmacists will find useful in their areas of clinical practice" - Patrick J. McDonnell, Temple University School of Pharmacy
