How to Use This Site

Frequently in the Drug Profiles in Section Two you are advised to "see (a particular) Drug Class." This alerts you to a possible drug contraindication, or to possible interactions with certain foods, alcohol, or other drugs. In each case, you can find the more readily recognized brand names for each drug listed generically within a drug class by looking at the appropriate Drug Profile. Timely use of these references can help you to avoid many possible hazards of medication.

Section Five is a glossary of drug-related terms used throughout the book. The preferred use of each term is explained. Frequent references to the Glossary are made in the Drug Profiles. Use of the Glossary will help you understand how to recognize and interpret significant drug effects.

Section Six offers tables of drug information. The title and introductory material explain the content and purpose of each table. The information emphasizes pertinent aspects of drug behavior. The tables give you another source of ready reference. The Medication Map in this section is a way for you to use your doctor's or pharmacist's expertise to arrange all of the medicines you take into a reasonable schedule. Take the time to have them help you get the most from your medicines. A new table identifies medicines that have been removed from the market. This may help protect you from medicines that may still be available in other countries. The index of brand and generic names in the back of the book is a single alphabetical listing that provides page references to the appropriate Drug Profile(s) for all drugs found in this book. It will be more useful if you first read the introductory explanation of the special features of this combined index.
