Tarascon Pocket Pharmacopoeia 2019 Deluxe Lab-Coat Edition

So, the book came in good condition. Smaller than a common book, but not necessarily able to fit in standard pockets. Roughly 495 pages of content (excluding index, etc...). I don't have trouble reading the text, but if you generally need larger print text, this may or may not be an issue. It is comprehensive (would be helpful for inpatient and outpatient settings) and has helpful tables/charts. Keep in mind, this isn't so much a description of how a certain drug class works, but just information on the drugs' use, dosage, warnings, available forms, price range...Of course, refer to guidelines, facility-specific protocols, etc...but this can be helpful in guiding you quickly on medication options to choose from and how to prescribe the one you select.

I've always used Tarascon Pharmacopoeia references. Happy with the reliable and ease of information provided. As a Seasoned Pharmacist very nice to have on those busy days when information is nicely tucked away in the "Black Hole" of my mind. 4-Stars due to print size. 2019 is not available in regular soft bind book size.

I had the super tiny lab coat edition prior to this and found I NEVER used it because it was too small and annoying to try and read. I’ve thumbed through this book a bit and it is much easier to use than the itty bitty version. From what I’ve seen so far, the information is accurate. I think I will get more use out of this larger version!

I really like this small version. Easy and straight to the point. Buy the normal version if you need to know everything, the small version just summarized it up. So do keep that in mind.

Great price great for the medical field. Still fits in the lab coat pocket much larger more information in it would definitely buy more of these instead of the pocket ones especially for us he don't see so well

I like that the medications are grouped according to class. I do not like that I cannot find the pregnancy antibiotic list as easily as in the previous editions.

Bought this as a gift for a pharmaceutical student. She is over the moon with the knowledge contained and uses it regularly.

Used it to study for the boards and now I it every day as a practicing pharmacist. I really appreciate the birth control table and dermatologic table to try to find comparable alternatives for pts when something isn’t on formulary.
