The third edition includes coverage of pharmacogenomics and travel medicine. The section on Depressive Disorders discusses weaning patients from SSRIs and changing from one medication to another. Switching from brand names to generics is dicussed in various chapters.
Reviews
This book is amazing! Best textbook I’ve had in a long time. There is excellent information in here. Each chapter has a very concise, well written pathophysiology, followed by specific diagnostic criteria, medications, and medication guidelines for a specific disease process. At the end of each chapter is a helpful box that includes monitoring and follow-up which is also very useful. The thing I appreciate most about this book is the brevity and clarity it has in explaining/discussing concepts. It also makes cross comparisons with nice tables between different sets of guidelines, and usually includes algorithms for drug selection. I will be keeping this one as a reference when I begin practicing as an FNP.
