Just what I needed
by Dave1959
Useful book, keep up on your medicine
by M. Ginns
I think this is a book more useful to older people and those younger who suffer an illness or disability that requires more than a box of Aspirin. As soon as I downloaded it (needs patience as it is a big book) I was looking up all my meds from what I’ve been taking for years to the latest additions. Not as expansive as the paper inside every box of meds, but not far short of it.
A very, very useful book!
by K. Rana
Very informative for a quick reference book. Great for explaining medications in simple terms for patients.
