| ISSN Series: | Litt's Drug Eruption & Reaction Manual | | Discipline: | + Medicine | | Subject Definition: | Drug Eruptions-Handbooks | | NLM Class: | WR 39 | | LC Class: | RL803 | | Abstract: | Nearly two decades after the first Drug Eruptions & Reactions Manual was compiled by Dr. Litt, this classic work has been developed and expanded into Litt.s D.E.R.M. Relied upon by dermatologists and medical practitioners internationally for its unparalleled practical focus on adverse effects and cutaneous reactions, this text is the essential quick-reference tool for patient care and drug safety. ... New this year is a groundbreaking section on class reactions: ten major classes of widely used drugs (including ACE inhibitors, statins, and tricyclic antidepressants). These are presented in tabular form, showing at a glance which reactions are known to occur in all members of the class and at which levels, which occur in a majority, and which occur at significant levels for even a few members. No clinical practitioner can afford to be without this invaluable tool to help predict, diagnose, and resolve problems arising from prescribed drugs. Ideally practitioners should avial themselves of both the database and the manual, for their different purposes. |
