Sommario/riassunto |
|
The BSAVA Formulary has been one of the Association's most trusted and highly valued publications for over a quarter of a century. The Canine and Feline part provides an alphabetical list of drugs available for veterinary use in dogs and cats. The information has been fully updated for 2020 with new drug monographs, including additional chemotherapeutic agents, with key references where available plus additional references available only in the online version. Formulary Quick Links on the right side of the page provide useful supporting information including updated information on antibacterial use, a new flowchart designed to clarify the prescribing cascade, and protocols for chemotherapy, immunosuppression and sedation and immobilization. The Canine and Feline Formulary is accompanied by a range of useful Client Information Leaflets which have been updated alongside the new edition. |
