Jerome Z. Litt Livres

This is a handy-size vade mecum that describes and catalogs the adverse cutaneous side effects of 620 commonly prescribed and over-the-counter drugs, cross-indexed by generic and more than 1,100 trade names. It classifies adverse reactions in four categories: skin, hair, nail, and other, including mucous membranes, teeth, muscle, and other forms of reactions. Based upon the newly published 1999 edition of Dr. Litt's immensely popular, widely used and acclaimed ("as important as the annual PDR books") Drug Eruption Reference Manual, this pocket guide version includes all the data, less references and illustrations, of the larger manual, identifying, for each generic drug, trade names and manufacturers, drug type or class or group, clinically important or potentially serious drug interactions, and pertinent notes. It also contains a list of other, less common trade-name drugs from the U.S.A. and elsewhere. Also from the 1999 edition are 50 new generic drugs that include Viagra (sildenafil), Zyprexa (olanzapine), Trovan (trovafloxacin), and others, and many new combination drugs, including Arthrotec, Lexxel, Lotrel, Tarka, Teczem, and more. Litt's Pocket Guide to Drug Eruptions and Interactions is the only work of its kind - comprehensive, authoritative, up-to-date - and is conveniently formatted in carry-along size for quick reference in the doctor's office and on hospital rounds and consultations. A vital resource for physicians and residents.

Internationally relied upon by medical practitioners for its unparalleled focus on adverse effects and cutaneous reactions, Litt’s Drug Eruption & Reaction Manual is a succinct clinical reference and essential drug-safety tool for patient care. The new edition has been comprehensively revised and updated, featuring an enlarged section of tables for class reactions and new entries for recently licensed drugs. It has been comprehensively revised and updated throughout to act as a quick reference, and each entry includes: Summaries of numbers of reports and incidence for reactions Clinically important and potentially hazardous drug–drug interactions Categories of adverse drug reactions, eruptions, and cutaneous reaction patterns Essential reference information on prescription and over-the-counter drugs as well as biologics and supplements
