Single best reference I have August 26, 2006
L. Chad Riggs (NC, United States)
15 out of 15 found this review helpful
Being a hospital pharmacist and former pharmacy resident at a very well-known tertiary care center, I have found the DI Handbook to be the single best resource I have. There are other reference books that provide more complete information or are tailored to a specific topic, but I don't think there is a better general drug reference book that is as easy to carry as the DI Handbook. I use it daily in my practice.
This is the BEST drug guide that I have used April 29, 2001

The Drug Information Handbook by Lacy et al is the single best drug guide that I have used. I keep it handy both on my desk and in my bag when I make visits to patients in the field. I advise all of my staff of nurses and hospice physicians to obtain a copy on a regular basis as it is the most concise reference book in the field. I supervise a hospice program and in that context I am speaking with pharmacists, physicians and families on a regular basis. I buy a new copy every year. It was with relief that I disposed of my nursing drug guides a number of years ago and switched to the Lacy guide.
Unbelievably Good January 16, 2003

This drug handbook is without a doubt the best quick reference guide to drug information. I'm really glad I was required to buy it in pharmacy school. I buy a new edition every year for home and at the pharmacy. It should be a required reference material for every pharmacy. Lacy et al is listed as the author, but the handbook is sponsored by the American Pharmaceutical Association.
Great prescription drug reference July 8, 2006

As a pharmacist, I regard this reference as one of the best. The drug information as well as the reference charts at the end of the book are complete, yet succinct. I use this resource daily.

this is a "must-have" for every pharmacy student. very thorough, yet succinct descriptions of over 1,300 rx and otc medications with about 30 fields for each. very easy to use and has therapeutic category, key word, brand and generic name indices. i use it everyday!
