Of all the tasks performed by new doctors, it is probably the one with greatest direct impact on the wellbeing of patients. Safe and effective practice rests on a good understanding of both clinical pharmacology and practical prescribing. Acquiring this is not easy, particularly when faced with reams of information about hundreds of unfamiliar drugs, often presented in a way that appears detached from clinical reality. This book is your starting point. It is a direct response to requests from students for a compendium of the 100 most important drugs in the NHS. Key information about the clinical pharmacology and practical prescribing of each drug is presented side-by-side, allowing you to direct your attention as appropriate for your stage of training. Drugs can be accessed alphabetically when you need quick information on the wards and by organ system or clinical indication when you are at your desk. Research led by Professor Emma Baker has identified the �top 100 drugs� by their importance and prescribing frequency. She has shown that the list changes little over time, making it a stable resource upon which to base learning. "A great practical resource for those new to prescribing the text is aimed at those new to independent prescribing, and for that group I would consider. The Top 100 Drugs�to be an excellent publication." Reviewed by�Emma Watts, GP in Surrey on behalf of (journal) Pulse�April 2015 "This handy, pocket-sized book is a great practical resource for those new to prescribing." Reviewed by Pulse, Apr 2015 The top 100 drugs and the five most important intravenous fluids are presented using a clear, consistent layout across double-page spreads. Drugs are arranged alphabetically and also listed by organ system and clinical indication, providing multiple pathways into the information. Clinical pharmacology is discussed under the headings: common indications; mechanisms of action; important adverse effects; warnings; and important interactions. Practical prescribing is discussed under the headings: prescription; administration; communication; monitoring; and cost. A clinical tip is presented for every drug. Single-best-answer questions are provided for self-assessment and to show how information from several drugs may be integrated. Review: Essential for medical students! - What a fantastic resource for medical students! This book covers commonly prescribed drugs as the title suggests, but also lays out the information in an easy, readable manner. I much prefer this to Pocket Prescriber; which is excellent for once you qualify but seems to be filled with lists and details without much of an explanation. In my opinion, this book is great to learn drugs, pharmacology and prescribing from, and pocket prescriber is more of a 'simplified BNF' type text (which is also written in a similar manner). I haven't gone through it completely yet, but I can already tell that the authors have done a wonderful job (not surprising as they are fantastic lecturers!), and I can tell that this book will be well used by the time I graduate. A brilliant resource for students and doctors, I would highly recommend this! Review: Useful for student nurses too - I am a third year student nurse, and I can't recommend this book enough. Although it is aimed at medical students, I find the layout and explanations within very accessible and the vast majority of information contained is relevant to nurses too. Drugs with similar mechanisms of action are grouped together to avoid repetition - this can make it hard to find particular drugs if you are not sure what group they belong to. However, other than that I am very happy with this book. For prescribers, drugs are sorted at the front of the book into the illnesses and conditions they are used to treat, for easy reference. It is small enough in size to be carried around easily. ## Features - The Top 100 Drugs: Clinical Pharmacology and Practical Prescribing - Product type: ABIS BOOK - Brand: Churchill Livingstone ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 309 Reviews | ## Images ![The Top 100 Drugs: Clinical Pharmacology and Practical Prescribing - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71JAwcZpM1L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Essential for medical students! *by H***B on 21 May 2014* What a fantastic resource for medical students!

The drugs are laid out in alphabetical order so you can use it like a dictionary to find a drug. This is in contrast to the BNF which is categorised into treatments for disease conditions. There's a few pages categorising the drugs by disease condition too at the beginning. There are also very good questions at the end. Worth buying from third year up especially if you are a student at St George's medical school :) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/47901656-the-top-100-drugs-clinical-pharmacology-and-practical-prescribing](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/47901656-the-top-100-drugs-clinical-pharmacology-and-practical-prescribing) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-17*
