This book has many advantages for learning medical math, however in Chapter 9 several of the questions have the wrong answer in the book. Good for everything else!

I Left the School. I Kept the Book.
I picked this up in 2005 when I enrolled in a pharmacy tech program. The program was terrible and I left. But this book came with me and never left my bag.
The morning of my PTCB exam I opened it and saw drip rates, concentrations, and body surface area calculations for the first time in my life. I had never covered those topics before that day. I worked through them, walked into the exam and passed.
Nearly 20 years and a hospital pharmacy career later it is still my go to. I recommend it to every technician I know.

There were lots of moments, when the course work was complicated and difficult, that I had little panic attacks. I thought there was no way I could learn this new and complex information. But if I keep reading or rereading, it all worked it's self out. This book was very very good at teaching me what I needed to know to pass the Medical Dosage class.

I found this review of medication math quite helpful. What I didn't like was the lack of any followup of previous chapters as far as testing went. And there was not final review of the whole book. Funny that I feel I understand the math process better now then I did 25 years ago.

Seriously, this is the most well-written math book I've ever used!

super unclear and full of mistakes, a really poor choice for a text book.

Med math
Very easy read. Examples make it easy to read and comprehend. No big language used. Medical experience preferred. Would recommend for others.
