Nursing 93 Drug Handbook, © 1993 paperback Springhouse Publishing

Description: Before you dismiss this book as ''Oh, another nursing student's old textbook'' let me highlight some of the pros of this 1993 edition. First, many of the drugs listed in this little book are used today, but for different reasons than they were back then. A prime example is Tenuate (a.k.a. diethylproprion HCl) which is mainly prescribed for weight loss in 2024. Thus drug now rivals Adipex (phentermine) as one of the leading weight loss drugs in the country by primary care nowadays, but it has been around since 1993. On page 423 the truth is revealed as this was a long known diuretic, but it has certain negative side effects such as increased hypertension, anxiety, or worsening of diabetes mellitus. Find out the truth of your prescribed medicines with this easy to use guide on both generic and brand name drugs such as Adderall, Ozempic, Lisinopril, or Meloxicam. Nothing can substitute old school nursing knowledge contained in a book like this ( especially Web MD). This book gives guidelines on drug interactions, side effects, pregnancy safety, long-term and short-term use, and also what each drug is actually meant to be used for. This is no longer information that can be succinctly found on the internet with a 100% credibility as there are now an overabundance of sources that tell you conflicting information. My very own grandmother continued to reference this book long after the completion of nursing school. So I can guarantee with certainty that a book like this is very well worth it to have on hand. Especially for elderly patients that can't even pronounce half the prescriptions their on. For a decent and affordable price this book can be yours, whether for your own personal use or for more informative health decisions regarding the ones you love.
