DESCRIPTION:
Bought with Mosby's Handbook of Herbs and Supplements and their Therapeutic uses B. Newsom I bought this book as reference as a practicing veterinarian. I haven't utilized it as much as the Therapeutic Uses companion book, but it is just as useful. it isn't as easily read. But the information on drug interactions is extremely important. Did you know what your Daily dose of St. John's Wart can do to your dose of Omeprazole (Prilosec)? This book can tell you, you have nothing to fear. It is a book of very specific interactions between specific drugs. not a list of drugs that a particular supplement reacts with. it is very specific. and detailed about the interactions (annotated and indexed) contained. Mary Van Nortwick said Top notch book on herbs for medical students who want. Top notch book on herbs for medical students who want accurate information without all the new age hype. Use along with Mosby's book of Herbs and Supplements as alternative for nurses and physicians in disasters if medications are limited as we did in Katrina.This is serious medical information that can be relied upon by licensed medical staff.. Good but not complete White Wolf Has some good information but is definitely lacking in content. You need to get a couple of other books to get a full picture of all the interactions. This book alone covers only about 1/3 of the interactions that exist.
Each entry is rated on a scale of 1 to 4 to show the severity of the interaction and includes information on related drugs, an interaction summary, a discussion of the interaction, management suggestions, and references. With an increasing number of patients combining herbal treatments with prescribed medications, reliable information on herb/supplement and pharmaceutical interactions is much needed. This portable reference is organized alphabetically by drug name and features an entry for each drug-herb/drug-supplement combination that has a proven interaction. In addition to the core material, there are also several helpful appendices on interactions by herb or supplement, nutrient depletions, and drug-herb add-on depressant interactions.Evidence-based content includes the most up-to-date, current research on herb/supplement and pharmaceutical interactions.A unique rating scale uses scientific evidence to grade the level of interaction expected.References are included for each drug-herb/drug-supplement combination.A
