Injectable drugs

About Injectable drugs

The prescription or administration of injectable drugs requires taking into account many parameters related to the patient and the disease to be treated. The optimal choice of injection route is not always obvious, especially if the conditions of administration (emergency, particular patient) do not allow time to consult documents and instructions for use which are sometimes very dense. True therapeutic tool, this work makes available to the prescriber or the user of injectable drugs, clear and practical information presented in a synthetic way in the form of tables thus allowing a fast and effective use. It specifies for each drug the route of injection and the conditions of administration commonly practiced, as well as the monitoring of the treatment, during and after the injection. Written in the form of files classified by specialties and by DCI, this book recalls the trade names, absolute and relative contraindications, the precautions for use and the storage conditions of each drug. The indications, dosages as well as presentations, dilutions and administration are detailed according to the chosen injection route. For certain drugs used with the electric syringe pump, tables of infusion rates are available. This practical guide to injectable drugs in pocket format is a unique and original tool for all practitioners, interns, medical students, nurses and student nurses. In addition, this book is complemented by an online supplement making available to the reader downloadable sheets of less common but equally important drugs.
