Summary:

Following the publication of its first edition, this book quickly established itself as an important, encyclopedic work. It provides a map to guide clinicians through the jungle of toxicological fact and theory presented by the mass of reports on adverse reactions to drugs published in a multitude of medical books and journals. Taking a unique approach to the subject, this completely updated guide classifies adverse reactions by bodily systems and the drugs that may affect them, rather than by drugs and the disorders they may cause. This reflects the way in which drug-induced disease presents to the clinician in general or hospital practice, and means that the relevant information can be found quickly and easily. The Fourth Edition has been expanded and largely rewritten, with new authors for many of the chapters, and includes the most recent data on iatrogenic disease.
