Veterinary Drug Handbook (Pocket Edition)

An abridged pocket-size edition of the "Veterinary Drug Handbook, 4th edition". The author has condensed each monograph so as to maintain the book's reputation for accuracy, yet provided a smaller book that facilitates user-access in the clinical setting. Rounded corners and high-quality thinner paper add to the portability of this version. Extensively revised, this edition of the handbook includes 50 new drug monographs and many new dosages as well as updated dosages to newer references. "Prescriber Highlights" introduce each monograph adding quick reference convenience to this sourcebook. One-volume comprehensive coverage of routinely used veterinary drugs makes this book a useful resource for veterinarians, veterinary pharmacologists, pharmacists in veterinary hospital practice, laboratory and veterinary technicians, animal research facilities, and libraries that serve these groups. The drug monographs include: chemistry; storage/stability/compatibility; pharmacology; uses/indications; pharmacokinetics; contraindications/precautions/reproductive safety; adverse effects/warnings; overdosage/acute toxicity; drug interactions; doses-by species; monitoring parameters; client information; dosage; forms/preparations/FDA approval; and status/withholding times. The appendices feature: ophthalmic products; small animal therapeutic diets; chemotherapy protocols for treatment of neoplastic diseases in small animals; conversion tables; tables of parenteral fluids; abbreviations; and reference laboratory values.
