Handbook of Nonprescription Drugs: An Interactive Approach to Self-Care PDF
Honestly, I only got this because I would have been kicked out of class if I didn't. Not worth the buy at all, especially since online references are a lot more updated and a lot more reliable if you know where to look.By Dipole70
On first impression I was surprised by how physically light this textbook is for its size. The text reads clearly, but the tables are most valuable for getting to reference information quickly. This would be a great addition to a family bookshelf for when anyone needs safe medical self-care for pain or a multitude of common problems.By BioMuse
