This book will enable pharmacists, GPs, nurses and other healthcare professionals to make well-informed recommendations and to give patients and customers sound advice on non-prescription medicines.
Non-prescription medicines are an increasingly important area of drug therapy. As part of its national health strategy in the UK, the Government is strongly encouraging self-care, supporting this by reclassifying medicines available previously only on prescription as for sale over-the-counter (OTC). Non-prescription Medicines assesses the range of OTC medicines that can be recommended for the most frequently encountered minor illnesses, plus emergency hormonal contraception and smoking cessation. Revised and updated, this edition:- covers 40 common conditions
- includes new chapters on cardiovascular medicines, fungal nail infection, and migraine
- discusses the treatment of each condition, with recommendations from the products available
- includes evidence to support the product advice.
