There has in recent years been a significant increase in the numbers of healthcare professionals able to prescribe; however, sources of drug information tend to focus on only one area of prescribing. The Oxford Handbook of Practical Drug Therapy links practical information about how to use medicines with concise details about the pharmacology of a drug, and the principles of clinical pharmacology thatgovern its action.The overall structure of this handbook is similar to the UK national formulary, with topics on each drug aOxford handbooks.DrugsPrescribingandbooks, manuals, etcChemotherapyPharmacologyElectronic books.DrugsPrescribingChemotherapy.Pharmacology.615.1Richards DuncanMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910464469103321Oxford handbook of practical drug therapy2052621UNINA
