Summary
"This important reference is your best resource for helping customers safely and wisely choose their over-the-counter treatments. Organized by condition rather than by drug, the text complements a disease-based approach to therapeutics. You will find useful information on ingredients, interactions, contraindications, and other essentials for patient counseling situations. Treatment algorithms placed within the chapters lead you through the decision-making process of recommending the right nonprescription products and devices. Content is up-to-date with FDA regulations, giving you recommendations for products that are proven safe and effective."--BOOK JACKET.
