What is in This Book
The purpose of this book is to give you information about the
most widely used drugs (prescription and nonprescription). The
information is derived from many authoritative sources and
represents the consensus of many experts. Every effort has been
made to ensure accuracy and completeness. However, because
drug information is constantly changing, you should always talk
to your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions or
concerns.
The information applies to generic drugs in both the United
States and Canada. Generic names do not vary in these countries,
but brand names do. Each year, new drug charts are added and
existing charts are updated when appropriate. For the most part,
drugs that are injected by a medical professional, used mainly in
a hospital (or medical clinic) or have rare usage are not included.
A drug cannot “cure.” It aids the body’s natural defenses to
promote recovery. Likewise, a manufacturer or doctor cannot
guarantee a drug will help every person. The complexity of the
human body, individual responses in different people and in the
same person under different circumstances, past and present
health, age and gender impact how well a drug works.
All effective drugs produce desirable changes in the body,
but can also cause undesirable adverse reactions or side effects.
Before you decide whether to take a drug, you or your doctor
must decide, “Will the benefits outweigh the risks?”
In the United States, it is the responsibility of the Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) to ensure that drugs are safe and
effective
