Hi,

For those who have no access to a PDR or feel it is too costly (if it can be
bought at the bookstore--I don't know if it can or not), there is also the
Nursing Drug Handbook.  My son gave me one for my birthday last year.  It
discusses the various medications, their contraindications, side effects,
etc.  It is very useful.  I don't know how the information compares with the
PDR in completeness, but it seems like a good guide to me.
