Great resource!:
Is a great drug resource. Has everything you need to know and it easy to use.

Very useful:
Very extensive and detailed information about all drugs . It's all you need to prescribe a drug with safety.
The appendix section contains very useful information of clinical and basic laboratory values
It's the most complete and specific book I have ever seen about pediatric drug prescription
I love it

Excellent Resource:
This book is comprehensive for pediatric clinicians. Format is easy to use and very through information.
