Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A d104 Book on Prescription Writing and Pharmacy: With Practice in Prescription-Writing, Laboratory Exercises in Pharmacy, and a Reference List of the Official Drugs, Especially Designed for Medical Students The problems in prescription-writing introduced so abun dautly in this book are intended to serve as exercises of the first grade. They are expected to teach the student the best form in which medicines may be prescribed. After the student has mastered this course, he should be introduced to problems of the second grade, in which he should be required to pre scribe a certain drug or combination of drugs; leaving the choice of form, dose, and method of administration to the exercise of the student's knowledge and judgment. Finally, the student should be drilled in problems of a third grade, in which he is asked to prescribe for a certain condition of dis ease, for which he is to choose the proper medicament, which is then to be prescribed in the proper way. Thus, he advances by successive stages up to the point when he will be able to grapple successfully with the problems at the patient 's bedside, when the element of diagnosis is added as a final complication. Is it a wonder that young practitioners who have not had the training just outlined find themselves hopelessly lost when they are faced by the necessity of writing a prescription at the bedside.

Download or read book The Risks of Prescription Drugs written by Donald Light and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few people realize that prescription drugs have become a leading cause of death, disease, and disability. Adverse reactions to widely used drugs, such as psychotropics and birth control pills, as well as biologicals, result in FDA warnings against adverse reactions. The Risks of Prescription Drugs describes how most drugs approved by the FDA are under-tested for adverse drug reactions, yet offer few new benefits. Drugs cause more than 2.2 million hospitalizations and 110,000 hospital-based deaths a year. Serious drug reactions at home or in nursing homes would significantly raise the total. Women, older people, and people with disabilities are least used in clinical trials and most affected. Health policy experts Donald Light, Howard Brody, Peter Conrad, Allan Horwitz, and Cheryl Stults describe how current regulations reward drug companies to expand clinical risks and create new diseases so millions of patients are exposed to unnecessary risks, especially women and the elderly. They reward developing marginally better drugs rather than discovering breakthrough, life-saving drugs. The Risks of Prescription Drugs tackles critical questions about the pharmaceutical industry and the privatization of risk. To what extent does the FDA protect the public from serious side effects and disasters? What is the effect of giving the private sector and markets a greater role and reducing public oversight? This volume considers whether current rules and incentives put patients' health at greater risk, the effect of the expansion of disease categories, the industry's justification of high U.S. prices, and the underlying shifts in the burden of risk borne by individuals in the world of pharmaceuticals. Chapters cover risks of statins for high cholesterol, SSRI drugs for depression and anxiety, and hormone replacement therapy for menopause. A final chapter outlines six changes to make drugs safer and more effective. Suitable for courses on health and aging, gender, disability, and minority studies, this book identifies the Risk Proliferation Syndrome that maximizes the number of people exposed to these risks.
