guidelines With the rapidly changing treatment algorithms and drug prices, prescribers need to have up-to-date references at their fingertips This book does exactly that It provides excellent resources on the various drugs that can be used for different conditions It discusses drug rationales, side effects, efficacy, and safety as well as drug-to-drug interactions Whether you are a PA
