This revised edition assesses the range of non-prescription, over-the-counter medicines that can be recommended for the most frequently encountered minor illnesses. The first edition has been updated to reflect changes in the legal status and availability of products and new opinions on and approaches to treatment. A new section on emergency hormonal contraception is also included. The information is presented in a structured formulary format with products described both generically and by brand name along with supplier details. Each chapter also contains a summary of key points with suggestions regarding the most appropriate products. The book should enable pharmacists, GPs, nurses and other healthcare professionals to make well-informed recommendations and to give patients and customers sound advice on non-prescription medicines.
