Useful Medicine Information October 24, 2008

The latest version of The Pill Book provides relevant and important information for any one taking medicine. It describes the use, side effects if any and even shows a
picture of the medicines. Very often doctors don't tell their patients the purpose of medicine prescribed or what effects it will have. Using The Pill Book should make most people more comfortable when taking medicine.
Perscription Bible October 13, 2008
This is the third or fouth addition I have gotten of this book. I call it my Perscription Bible and have a copy at work and at home. I never take a medication without looking it up to see what, when, where and how it works. I use it as a referernce for others as well. I have been given other books but none are as easy to use or as informative as this one.
the pill book September 6, 2008
The Pill Book was very useful for my drug listing I had to do for school.
It provided me with concise, useful information on the drugs that I was researching.
I recommend other people to use the Pill Book.
 Much needed update August 17, 2008
Anyone that has bought a previous edition, will want to update as this edition has many newer drugs that were not previously available. Only complaint is that it would be good to have pictures of the generics as so many people can no longer afford the brand name, and the generic pill can look very different.
