Description

Injectable Drugs Guide includes information on: final concentration of reconstituted solutions; stability; periodicity of monitoring; and, unusual electrolyte, glucose and excipients content. It consists of an A-Z of approximately 300 injectable drugs in monograph format, each covering the following topics:

• pre-treatment checks
• dosing regimens
• preparation and administration
• compatibility and stability information
• monitoring requirements during treatment
• side effects, interactions and pharmacokinetic information.

The Injectable Drugs Guide is designed to support the NPSA risk assessment process and each drug has a risk rating.

The book provides a holistic approach to injectable medicines to meet the needs of the many disciplines involved in the clinical use of injectables and also those providing advice about injectable drug use.
