Prescribers Guide 2nd Edition
|
Prescribers Guide (2nd Edition) is completely revised as Stephen Stahls much acclaimed and latest addition to the Essential Psychopharmacology range, and contains over 100 psychotropic drugs! In response to the rapid developments in psychopharmacology, almost every drug has had some changes to take into account new regulations and uses, with updates and amendments where necessary.
This Guide gives practical information on how to use these drugs in the clinical practice, providing the prescriber what they need to treat patients effectively. An excellent resource for the art of prescribing psychotropic medications, and belongs in every clinicians library.
All drugs are presented in the same easy-to-use format in order to facilitate rapid access to information. Specifically, each drug is broken down into five sections, each designated by a unique color: therapeutics, side effects, dosing and use, special populations, and the art of psychopharmacology, followed by key references/suggested reading:
Therapeutics:
Covers the brand names in major countries; the class of drug; what it is commonly prescribed and approved for by the US Food and Drug Administration; how the drug works; how long it takes to work; what to do if it works or if it doesnt work; the best augmenting combinations for partial response or treatment resistance, and the tests (if any) that are required.
