5.0 out of 5 stars Big applause!, May 14 2004

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Saunders Pharmaceutical Word Book 2004 (Paperback)
This book is crucial to the life of a medical transcriptionist. Updated annually, as the world of pharmaceuticals changes on an ongoing basis, Saunders has the king of drug word books. They cross-reference medications, list info for the generic and brand name drugs under each (e.g. "acetominophen" and "Tylenol" with same info) to minimize double-lookup, unlike the so-called "Quick Look Drug Book." Experimental drugs and discontinued products are listed together with the rest, so one does not have to access a separate appendix. Strengths of dosage (20 mg, 40 mg, etc.) are given, generics are not capitalized, etc., all critical info for an MT. Also included is a "sound-alike" list as well as "sound-alike" info within each individual entry, which often is very helpful. There are other similar publications out there and I've tried several, but Saunders is clearly the best IMO for the transcriptionist's needs.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Transcriptionists Best Friend, Sep 18 2005
By Queenofkeyboards - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dorland's Pharmaceutical Wordbook 2005 (Paperback)
This book is GREAT for anyone who is in the medical field, but especially for medical transcriptionists. It is a very user friendly book, and the "sound alikes" at the end are great. I would recommend this book to anyone who works in the medical field as either a transcriptionist or nurse, etc. It will make your life much easier.

This review is from: Dorland's Pharmaceutical Wordbook 2005 (Paperback)
I am forever looking up pharmaceutical names- doctors do not always spell them correctly- so this is very helpful. It has dosages which are helpful also. I would recommend this book.
