Fifty-one outlines, with substantial detail, on drug therapies for 10 disease groups (cardiovascular to rheumatic). These are followed by a section on five common adverse drug reactions. The last two thirds of the book comprise detailed short articles on commonly used drugs. The outlines are structured as answers to sequential questions that physicians are likely to ask themselves about initiating and managing drug therapy. References to key clinical trials are often given to back up an author's advice.
