Features: This book introduces over 1,900 drugs, primarily focusing on commonly used Western medicines in China (domestic, joint ventures, and imported), while also providing brief introductions to some widely used traditional Chinese patent medicines. It strives to include newly approved drugs, excluding those with little clinical value or those that are largely obsolete. The appendices include "Common Latin abbreviations in prescriptions," "Drug measurement units," "Dosage calculation for the elderly and children," and "Ions contained in common solutions used in fluid therapy." An index of Chinese and foreign drug names is provided at the end for easy reference.
