2012, PSNZ/NZCPPSNZ e-newsletter
"...a key reference to turn to for reputable, referenced information in order to identify products and check precautions, contraindications or interactions. However, apart from the extensive international coverage, the therapeutic, phamacokinetic and pharmaceutical information itself is extensive, reliable and yet concise enough to make it readable - you can find the information you want simply. In this electronic age, is the hard-copy book still useful? Absolutely. The 37th edition includes a new multilingual dictionary of many pharmaceutical terms, invaluable for those foreign visitors..."
Bob Buckham, Manager, Clinical Pharmacy and Continuing Education Programmes, PSNZ/NZCP, PSNZ/NZCPPSNZ e-newsletter

Dec-2011, Australian Prescriber
"This edition...continues the tradition of previous Martindales in providing health professionals with unbiased, evaluated information on drugs used worldwide...Martindale provides information and monographs on herbal medicines, diagnostic agents, radiopharmaceuticals, toxins and poisons, which is unlikely to be included in other pharmaceutical references making it a unique resource...It remains a valuable resource of current, unbiased information on pharmaceuticals for pharmacists and other health professionals."
Helen Trenerry, Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital, Australian Prescriber 34(6) Dec 2011

"the clear advantage of Martindale is the synopsis of encyclopedic facts on drugs in a concise form that would otherwise require a long literature and/or data base search. Furthermore, the work contains dosing schemes and other information that cannot be found easily elsewhere...the 37th edition of Martindale is THE standard desk reference providing comprehensive, encyclopedic facts on drugs including global coverage of proprietary products"
Gerhard K.E. Scriba, Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, University of Jena, July 2011
