Non-prescription Medicines
Third edition
Alan Nathan - Freelance pharmacy writer and consultant, London, UK
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.

'This book is easy to read yet sufficiently detailed and in depth to be useful for all care professionals and excellent for the general public.'
Angela Ward. Distance Learning Tutor (ex District Nurse), Middlesbrough. Journal of Community Nursing. Volume 21, Issue 11. November 2007
01-Aug-07, The Pharmaceutical Journal:
'All minor illnesses that can be treated by a pharmacist are included in this book. And, for this reason, it is a must read for every pharmacist. This book should be available in every pharmacy as an invaluable source of reference. It also contains a detailed index.'
Uzma Chaudhry, relief pharmacist manager, Lloyds Pharmacy. The Pharmaceutical Journal
01-Nov-06, Irish Pharmacy Journal:
'...this is a very useful and worthwhile text...The layout is attractive, the headings logical in sequence, and the material not too technical - an advantage to the less academic on-the-coal-face pharmacy OTC practitioner.'
Irish Pharmacy Journal, November 2006, p419
