Mostly practitioners, but also some researchers, offer pediatric clinicians and students a concise, referenced, and accessible compilation of human clinical and empirical evidence concerning the use and effects of drugs in the fetus, neonate, infant, child, and adolescent. The drugs are discussed and indexed by their nonproprietary, generic, USAN names, and cross-referenced to common proprietary or trade names used in Canada and the US. Among the topics are administering drugs, drugs excreted in human breast milk, and pediatric antineoplastic drug therapy. The first three editions, between 1979 and 1995, were published by Drug Intelligence Publications. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
