Since the appearance of the second edition, the literature on adverse reactions has increased enormously.  In this important update, D'Arcy and Green assemble forty-one chapters which provide a review unparalleled in its completeness and its depth, surveying all aspects of iatrongenic disease.  From reviews of the second edition:"An excellent compendium of the disease that may result from therapy....The strength of the book lies in the discussion of the mechanisms of drug-induced problems, in the frequent use of case studies, and in the treatment of controversial areas."--American Journal of Hospital Pharmacy."All physicians ought to be familiar with this book.  Thoughtful physicians will find themselves referring to it frequently."--Journal of the American Medical Association."Written in a crisp, authoritatitve, and comprehensive mannyer....An invaluable addition to the bookshelf of the practitioner.  It fills a void not covered by any other reference book of current vintage."--Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences

For twenty years this book, now in its 5th edition, has provided information on adverse drug interactions that is unrivalled in coverage and scholarship. 
Adverse drug reactions, many of them ascribable to interactions with other drugs or with chemical substances in food or the environment, are thought to cause or complicate one in twenty of hospital admissions.
The book is conveniently divided into two parts: Part 1 comments on drug interactions and their mechanisms, on a pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic level, while Part 2 consists of drug interaction tables, divided and subdivided into categories of disorders, and the drugs used in the treatment of these disorders.
If safety in drugs is to improve, education of prescribers is vitally important. This book, with its up-to-date and coordinated approach, serves that purpose well. The real threat, as the authors remind us, is the ignorance of practitioners, not the drug itself. The volume is therefore an essential addition to the shelves of those responsible for the prescription of drugs, in order to prevent a potential backlash when used in combination with other drugs or chemical substances.
