Tarascon Pocket Pharmacopoeia 2018 Deluxe Lab-Coat Edition 19th Edition

At the time of writing, the book is already 6 years old and becoming outdated, but for what it covers it's great. Some newer medications are missing but that's to be expected given that it's a printed book. I wish Tarascon would continue publishing in print!

gets bigger every year, but the content of the book is excellent; my last edition was 2012, so this was a welcome and long-delayed upgrade.In general, much of this information is duplicated in UpToDate, MicroMedex, and an endless series of apps, but I'm stock in the 1600s and I like to read things in books, without need for electricity or screen time.

I buy this book for all my pharmacy interns to use while they are on rotation. They LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!! So much easier than going through a million data bases to answer a basic question. I love the vaccination charts, pregnancy/lactation information, and contraindications to ensure you are recommending the appropriate product.

I particularly like the ability to see how much a drug is going to cost before I RX one ($, $$, $$$$) Very helpful. Well organized, and Much More legible than the earlier version with teeny tiny print.

I typically love these books, information is concise and organized well. I think the presentation is improved. It gets 3 stars because, for some reason, some editor decided to take out the ONE CHART that I use everyday in the ER: the Pediatric dosing chart from ages 0-5 and with weight! It was arguably the best thing about the book! I can only hope that they put it back in with the next edition. As things stand, I had to copy the chart out of the last edition and TAPE IT to the back of THIS edition! If not for that, it would have been 5 stars.

My co-worker had the pocket version of this, but a previous year. I would borrow it when I needed it. I was so excited to get my own. I use this a lot at work, it is so helpful! Very satisfied with all aspects of this purchase. (Shipping, product).

Overall good, but a lot of the psychiatric medications are not listed in the index. I'm tempted to carry the 2017 until they release an updated index.

A very complete and easy to use reference. I found the reference to be invaluable in keeping up with new meds, risks, side effects.
