"This is truly the gold standard of pediatric and neonatal pharmacology. It is much more extensive than the standard pediatric drug formulary handbooks and its size means it is designed to be a reference in the office and not carried in one's lab coat pocket. However, it is a must-have reference for every pediatric ward and specialty unit since drug therapy is so essential and often misunderstood and misused." Weighted Numerical Score: 98 - 5 Stars! Doody Enterprises, Inc. book review, February 2011 "Neonatal and Pediatric Pharmacology is a well-presented, comprehensive resource covering basic pediatric pharmacology and the therapeutic principles that underlie the use of medications in newborns and children. It will be a helpful reference for all practitioners who care for children and invaluable for those who conduct research or teach." John L.
