Davis’s Pocket Clinical Drug Reference is a quick resource for the most commonly used drugs in clinical practice. The monographs are designed to highlight pertinent information; specifically, each monograph
includes a drug’s generic name, brand name, therapeutic indication, pharmacologic class, pregnancy class, contraindications, adverse drug reactions, drug interactions, dose, availability, and monitoring
parameters. To incorporate as many drugs as possible into a pocket drug guide format, only the most common adverse drug reactions and drug interactions are presented within each monograph. The table entitled Cytochrome P450 Substrates/Inhibitors/Inducers (page 285) provides more specific information regarding the drugs that may be involved in certain drug interactions. Additionally, within each monograph, a Notes section is included to highlight miscellaneous information that users should consider when initiating or monitoring drug therapy in their patients. In the Appendix, a number of useful tables and charts, covering
topics such as immunization guidelines, intravenous drugs, and narcotic equianalgesic dosing guidelines, provide additional information that is relevant to clinical practice. To obtain detailed drug information beyond what is supplied in the monographs of this pocket drug guide, the user should refer to the medical literature or the complete product information supplied by the manufacturer.
