It lays a solid foundation of pharmacological knowledge and then builds upon it by reviewing various organ systems. The chapters are clear, concise, and helpful. Readers can be confident that they will be able to identity and manage the various side effects that they will encounter. This is all accomplished without overwhelming readers, which can so often occur when exploring potential side effects of medications. I highly recommend this book. The second edition was necessary given the newer medications as well as the research findings that have emerged since the first edition.</p>--Aaron Plattner, M.D. "Doody's Book Reviews "<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Joseph F.
