The 2001 PDR for Nonprescription Drugs and Dietary Supplements provides critical information on those ingredients that move from prescription to nonprescription status as well as new over–the–counter drugs that are introduced every year. The 2001 edition contains: a section on dietary supplements including nutritionals, herbals, and functional foods; full, detailed descriptions of the most commonly used nonprescription drugs and products; color photos of hundreds of OTC drugs for quick ID–cross–referenced to the detailed descriptions; four separate indices for quick ID (by category, product name, manufacturer and active ingredient), comprehensive coverage of ingredients, indications, drug interactions, dosage, administration and more. And a Companion Drug Index to common diseases and frequently encountered side effects.

Cross referenced to the 2002 PDR® this time–saving, indices–based clinical reference makes safe, appropriate drug selection easier and faster than ever before. The Companion Guide is an all–in–one resource which complements the 2002 PDR®, PDR for Nonprescription Drugs and Dietary SupplementsTM, and PDR for Ophthalmic MedicinesTM. It now contains ten critical prescription checkpoints in one convenient, easy–to–use volume. You will find:
