In the academic arena it offers some insights to the legal implications not discussed on other resources. This book would also make a valuable addition to the clinical library. . .It is organized by drug class, with the major classes represented, including CNS drugs, cardiovascular agents, antibiotics and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents. A unique section covers environmental and social pharmacology issues with regards to drug interactions, including the influence of food, alcohol, tobacco, and anabolic agents. One of the more unique features of the book are the two final chapters that address litigation regarding drug interactions and psychotropic medications and crime. Tables are extensively and wisely used throughout to present large amounts of drug interaction data in an appropriate synopsis for quick reference.

What a tremendous book that combines pharmacology, forensic science and clinical aspects of drug interactions. I will definitely buy more and use it this year as a valuable Christmas gift.
