【本書能幫你什麼?讀者真實回饋】 Recently my wife was prescribed two different medications by her doctor. Taking them together could have been a threat to her life, neither the druggist nor the prescribing doctor warned her about the side effects that would take place if she took both medications within 4 to 6 hours of each other. The Pill book did! GET THIS IN YOUR HOME! Think generics are exactly the same as brand name drugs? Think again! ──我太太的醫師開給她兩種藥,但無論是醫師或藥師都沒有提醒她服用這兩種藥必須間隔4到6小時,否則會有嚴重後果。幸好我們有先翻閱《新資訊.安全用藥速查指南》!
Being a pharmacy technician, I keep this at home as one of my family go to books. I would recommend that every home have one. It is good for checking interactions and general information in understandable english. ──雖然我在藥局裡工作,但我還是買了一本《新資訊.安全用藥速查指南》放在家裡。我也會建議你,在服用任何藥品之前先查一下該藥物的資訊。
This book lets you look up every prescription medication in the USA, even recent ones, whether by trade name (e.g., Halcion) or generic description (Triazolam) -- if there are exceptions to that universality I don't know of them. The listing will tell you much more than a doctor will, or even a pharmacy information sheet -- common dosages (even photos of the most popular pills, for example Plate "M" for Halcion/Triazolam), class of medication (such as Benzodiazepine sedative), what it's for and how it works, common and rare side effects, what to do if you've missed a dose, what not to take concurrently, what to do if you overdose or have negative reactions, and so on. ──這本書能提供你藥名、用藥方法、劑量、漏服藥劑時的解決方案、過量用藥時的處置等等,資訊十分完整,甚至比醫師和藥師所提供的藥單上還多得多。
