Best formulary in vet med because doses are carefully thought about based on PK/PD concepts and evidence rather than just encyclopedic listings of all doses recommended publically but all types of vets. Dr. Papich “calls” the most appropriate dose which takes the guess work out asking vets to pick a doses based on “what other people use” or “what looks right”. I never felt good about having to do that with other formularies, with this one I feel like I can lean on the wisdom of someone who has dedicated their career to evidence-based pharmacology. Isn’t that how formularies are supposed to work?

I have both this drug handbook and Plumb’s, and I will use both for my work. However I find that Saunders provides the information to me in an easier to understand manner, as I find I can easily get lost in all the information Plumbs gives on each medication and I can lose sight of the important points I need to remember. I check both to verify dosages and ensure correct information, but when learning about medications Saunders presents it in a much clearer and succinct manner.

This is for the Kindle version, not the book itself. The Kindle version is the most assinine piece of junk for finding anything in the book. The search engine finds way too many hits when looking for a specific drug so that it takes way too long to find what is needed. A patient could die before finding the info needed. The contents page just has the first letter then a repetitive list of subject matter for drugs but without any mention of the drug.

The Kindle idiots have no idea how to make digital textbooks!!! The author should cancel any contract he has with the Kindle idiots.
