This book organizes the 10,000 drugs currently in use by therapeutic category. Therefore tranquilizers, all antidepressants, or anorex-ic agents, for example, are grouped together. In all, 204 categories are represented.
This arrangement means that all drugs in a given category can be reviewed and their relative properties compared quickly. A key component of this ref-erence is the extensive coverage of synonyms. The book includes an index of over 30,000 drug synonyms and trade names with a cross-reference to their main entry. Indexes, including a master index of names and synonyms, and of manufacturers and suppliers, are appended.
