Understanding the benefits -- and risks -- of the medications prescribed for you and your loved ones may be the single most important thing you can do to preserve you good health and peace of mind.

The Pharmacist's Guide to Your Medications contains everything you need to know about your medications including important information on their unique uses, side effects, storage requirements, precautions, dietary instructions and what to do about missed doses.

This edition is the perfect in-home resource -- it is written, reviewed and updated by clinical pharmacists, in an easy-to-understand, question-and-answer format, not confusing medical terminology. There are more than seven hundred drug overviews (monographs), including key facts and patient advice for the two hundred most prescribed medications, plus special sections on home infusion (intravenous) drugs and cancer chemotherapy drugs.

And help you cope with an especially challenging disease, and entire appendix of helpful information and advice for cancer patients is also provided. This will help you understand the purpose of many different cancer treatment and medications, prepare for side effects you may experience, and feel confident that you're getting the best results you can from your treatment.
