Features: This is a revised edition, and the content is not merely an addition or deletion of the third edition. Instead, it builds upon the original book's strengths while making significant breakthroughs and enrichments in content. The book includes nearly 1,700 clinically common drugs, covering all clinical disciplines such as internal medicine, surgery, obstetrics, ophthalmology, otolaryngology, dermatology, and stomatology. Each drug is described in detail under categories such as generic name, trade name or alias, classification, indications and dosage, formulation, pharmacokinetics, mechanism of action, contraindications, interactions, adverse reactions, precautions, and patient medication guidance. The classification column lists chemical, therapeutic, and pregnancy categories, with particular emphasis on the latter, which provides excellent guidance for medication use in women of childbearing age and pregnant women. In the interactions section, not only are drug-drug interactions explained, but potential interactions between drugs and food or other factors, along with their consequences, are also listed. The patient medication guidance section enables patients to understand how to make the drug work more effectively, how to reduce or avoid adverse reactions, and when to seek medical attention promptly. At the end of the book, there is a bilingual (Chinese and English) name index for all generic names, trade names, and aliases. This book meets clinical needs, with systematic and comprehensive content, convenient access, and serves as a fundamental guide for safe and rational medication for clinical medical professionals. It is a highly valuable reference tool.
