内容简介
? Easy-to-use A-Z format — features profiles of 300 drugs
? Vital information on side effects and drug interactions
? Cutting-edge research on the latest drug therapies ... and much more
Know the facts about the drugs you take.
With two thirds of the more than 1.6 billion prescriptions a year written for women, there’s an urgent need for a clear, concise resource to help sort through the confusing — and often contradictory — bombardment of information and advertising for the drugs we take.
This authoritative guide provides an essential list of the drugs used exclusively by women — fertility drugs, contraceptives, breast cancer drugs, estrogens — plus drugs for cardiovascular disease, rheumatoid arthritis, depression, high cholesterol, diabetes, and other health problems that affect women in greater numbers than men.
It features:
? 200 prescription drug profiles covering more than 300 drugs
? Each drug’s brand name, generic name, classification, dosage, side effects, drug and foodalcohol interactions, and pregnancynursing risks
? New research on which drugs affect women differently than men
? Facts even your doctor may not know
? Questions to ask the pharmacist — before you take the drug
? Cautions for ordering drugs over the Internet
? Special warnings for seniors
? A guide to nonprescription and over-the-counter medications
Plus — a special women’s resource directory for health-related issues and Web site addresses
