About this book

The Handbook of Systemic Drug Treatment in Dermatology helps prescribers and patients make rational decisions about drug treatment while considering known risks and potential unwanted effects. Written for dermatologists, family practitioners, pharmacists and specialist nurses, this completely revised and updated third edition of a bestseller provides an accessible and concise aid to prescribing and monitoring systemic dermatologic therapy. For each drug or drug class, the book lists its classification, mode of action, formulations, dosages, suggested regimens, contraindications, important drug interactions, adverse effects, patient information, and more. This third edition includes new classes of drugs as well as information on updated guidelines for prescribing and monitoring established drugs.

"... an outstanding resource that helps to alleviate worrying by providing precise guidelines and advice in managing our most infirm patients who require these medications." SkinMed
