Now in a fully updated seventh edition, Plumb’s Veterinary
Drug Handbook remains the most complete source of drug information
relevant for animals available. Providing referenced dosing
recommendations in each monograph, this book offers doses for a
wide range of species, including dogs, cats, exotic animals, and
farm animals, in a single resource. The book also includes detail
on key aspects for appropriate use of each drug, including
pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, contraindications, adverse effects,
safety during pregnancy or nursing, overdoses, drug interactions,
monitoring, chemistry and stability, storage, compatibility, and
available products.
The seventh edition adds 22 new drug monographs, as well as
updated dosages and information for existing drugs. A
noteworthy feature is the Prescriber Highlights section found at
the beginning of each monograph that allows readers a quick method
of finding important information for that drug.
This is the convenient 5 x 8-inch pocket size; Plumb’s
Veterinary Drug Handbook is also available in an 8 ? x 11-inch desk
size for enhanced readability and ease of use and as a mobile
version. 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.
