Features: The pharmaceutical industry has been developing rapidly, with new drug varieties constantly emerging and the retail pharmaceutical market expanding. This presents us with new challenges. In response to reader requests, this book has been revised. The revised edition retains 811 commonly used, effective, and moderately priced drugs at the grassroots level; adds 141 newly used 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. The book provides a relatively comprehensive introduction to the names and preparations of each drug, as well as adverse reactions and precautions. It also offers detailed explanations of mechanisms of action, indications, dosage, and administration, serving as a reference for grassroots healthcare professionals to ensure safe medication use.
