Hardbound. This renowned encyclopedia of adverse drug reactions, now in its 13th Edition, gives an up-to-date and critical review of the world literature over the past four years. Under the able supervision of the series editor, an international team of expert authors and co-editors have managed to present the vast amount of data in a structured and readable form, made even more easily accessible by the high-quality indexes of drugs and side-effects.

Under the supervision of the series editors, an international team of expert authors have gathered together the latest information on adverse drug effects from the international literature. In addition to describing new reports of adverse drug effects, the authors have subjected those reports to critical analysis, setting them into context in terms of clinical relevance and importance, and cross-referring to previous reports where necessary. New adverse effects are reported and evaluated and previously reported adverse effects are re-evaluated in the light of the most recent information. A special feature is the reviews, in which selected adverse effects are discussed in depth. The use of the book is enhanced by three separate indexes, allowing the reader to enter the text by drug name, adverse effect name, or drug interaction.

Elsevier now offers a series of derivative works based on the acclaimed Meyler's Side Effect of Drugs, 15th Edition. These individual volumes are grouped by specialty to benefit the practicing biomedical researcher and/or clinician. There has been significant progress in the development of targeted therapy drugs that act specifically on certain cancers, and that minimize damage to normal cells. Oncologists and cancer researchers will rely on this volume to determine effective drug treatments.

"Endocrine and metabolic diseases are common, including diseases such as diabetes, thyroid disease, and obesity. Endocrinologists, including diabetes professionals, internal medicine and primary-care practitioners, obstetricians and gynecologists, and other physicians will find this volume useful when treating endocrine or metabolic diseases." "This book summarizes the adverse effects of a large range of endocrine and metabolic drugs. The material is drawn from the 15th edition of the internationally renowned encyclopedia, Meyler's Side Effects of Drugs: The Encyclopedia of Adverse Drug Reactions and Interactions, and the latest volumes in the companion series, Side Effects of Drugs Annuals." --Book Jacket.
