Features: The pharmaceutical industry has been developing rapidly, with new drug varieties continuously emerging and the retail pharmaceutical market expanding day by day. This presents us with new challenges. In response to reader requests, this book has been revised. The revised edition retains 811 commonly used, highly effective, and moderately priced drugs for grassroots healthcare; adds 141 newly developed clinical drugs; and removes 77 drugs that are difficult to obtain in the market and rarely used. The included drugs cover the 744 national essential medicines listed by the Chinese government in 2002. This book provides a relatively comprehensive introduction to the names and formulations of each drug, as well as adverse reactions and precautions. It also offers detailed explanations of mechanisms of action, indications, dosage, and usage, serving as a reference for grassroots healthcare professionals to ensure safe medication practices.
