Plumb's Veterinary Drug Handbook

Plumb's Veterinary Drug Handbook, Eighth Edition offers an update to the most extensive and comprehensive source of drug information relevant to veterinary medicine. Easy to use and packed with detailed information encompassing monitoring, chemistry, storage, compounding, and dosages, this bestselling book provides reliable information on the use of an exhaustive list of drugs in a wide variety of species, including dogs, cats, exotic animals, and farm animals. Designed for fast access, the Eighth Edition has been revised to significantly reduce the number of dosage entries for a given indication, providing clearer guidance for selecting the correct dosage.

The Eighth Edition adds 43 new systemic drug monographs, and listed dosages have been extensively revised to address FDA status, current clinical use, and supporting evidence. New appendices cover multidrug sensitivity in dogs and provide a list of compounds and ingredients found in common household items and over-the-counter drugs that are potentially toxic to animals.

Plumb's Veterinary Drug Handbook is available as both an 8 1/2 x 11-inch desk size, offering enhanced readability and ease of use, and in the convenient 5 by 8-inch pocket size. Plumb's exhaustive one-volume coverage of drugs approved for veterinary species and non-approved (human) drugs that are used in veterinary practices today make this book an essential reference for veterinarians, veterinary technicians, veterinary pharmacologists, pharmacists with veterinary patients, animal research or zoological facilities, and libraries that serve these groups.
