effects on dental care. Covering both medical and dental prescribing,
all major categories of prescription drugs, their possible side effects,
and potential drug interactions are discussed. The medical section is
succinct and easily understandable, providing busy dentists with the
information they need about medical conditions and the drugs used to
treat them. The dental section offers practical, straightforward
information that is relevant to everyday dental prescribing.
All clinical contributing authors are medically and dentally trained,
