Know Your Medicine
Facts From The American Society
Of Hospital Pharmacists
If you're like many
Americans, you'd like to
know more about the medi
cations you take and what
you could do to help your
doctor provide the most ben
eficial drug therapy. Now,
thanks to a new consumers'
guide of information about
drugs, you can become a
more responsible participant
in your own health care.
The Consumer Drug Di
gest is not intended as a
do-it-yourself handbook or
as a substitute for a doctor's
or a pharmacist's recom
mendations. It is not in
tended to help a patient
''second guess" his doctor.
It's a quick reference hand
book for the patient who
wants to supplement the
information provided by
health practitioners.
The text of the book
was drawn from the Ameri
can Society of Hospital
Pharmacists (ASHP) Amer
ican Hospital Formulary
Service, a guide to prescrip
tion drugs used by every
major hospital in the Unit
ed States. Portions have
been specifically rewritten
for the lay reader.
Consumer Drug Digest
includes descriptions on
more than 200 of the most
frequently-prescribed pre
scription drugs. Over 1,000
brand names are covered.
The book is organized by
Plumbing, Heating, A.C.
Electrical Contracting
Waterheaters, Sales-Service,
Sharpening Service

technical terms are used,
but a glossary and pro

to aid the reader. There are
also two indexes ? one al
phabetical by generic and
U.S. brand names and one
alphabetical by generic and
Canadian brand names.
