5.0 out of 5 stars Almost essential for any holistic therapist, 1 Aug 2006
I haven't had this book long but have yet to come accross a term that I can't find in it. There is a section at the beginning that covers how drugs work. This is followed on a section on vrious medical condidtions and drugs used for those - this is very detailed and informative. The main section is an alphabetical 'dictionary' of drugs and medicines which is easy to access and contains very detailed and useful information.

As a therapist I find this book so useful as clients often are taking prescription drugs without knowing what they are for and by looking them up in this book I can get valuable information to help me to decide whether or not it is safe for me to massage the client.

5.0 out of 5 stars BMA guide to medicines and drugs, 9 Feb 2004
An essential guide to what you're being prescribed, what it's likely to do ... and what you shouldn't mix it with! Wonderfully reassuring when you need some basic background information without being baffled by science. This is my third update ... I wouldn't be without a copy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very informative & excellently presented information, 18 April 2007
The book is broken down into various sections such as 'understanding drugs', 'drug groups' and an 'a-z of drugs'. The information in every section is backed up with great illustrations an diagrams. Also very detailed an easy to understand throughout

Last but not least there is a first aid guide in the back!

Great stuff all in all.
