What Your Patients Need to Know About Psychiatric Medications
By Robert H. Chew, PharmD, Robert E. Hales, MD, MBA, and Stuart C. Yudofsky, MD

Publisher's Comments:
This book is a compendium of no-nonsense handouts designed to provide patients with essential information on the drugs you prescribe. It includes all major classes of medications, along with detailed information on specific agents-information that's more in-depth and easier to understand than what can be obtained from pharmacies or found on the Internet. Just print the handouts from the accompanying CD-ROM and pass them along; your patients will thank you, and gain a better understanding of their treatment regimen.
