Description

The Drug Recognition Guide provides an innovative method for identifying and categorising medications by visually deconstructing their names. Using colour-coded drug prefixes and suffixes, this pocket-sized guide makes generic drug names distinctive, logical, and easy to pronounce and remember.

More than 700 drugs from over 200 different categories are catalogued and colour-highlighted, helping you understand what underlies a generic drug name. The book's ten chapters cover a comprehensive range of drugs, including chemotherapy and immunosuppressants, cardiovascular and respiratory system drugs, pain management medications, and treatments for infectious diseases.

Each entry briefly summarises a particular class of drugs, describes the intended use of drugs within the class, and breaks down the "name stems" of individual drugs to reveal useful information and illustrate connections between chemically and therapeutically related medicines.
