The 2018-2019 handbook of prescription drugs covering many aspects to include useage, limitations and interactions, what to do for an over dose, and possible interactions with other drugs and foods. A good reference for the lay person that is taking prescription medication.

Great for anyone that is a care giver with people on tons of medications. It's a great reference for when prescriptions are filled by different pharmacies with different generics or manufacturers.
