By Phillip D. Hansten, Pharm.D., and John R. Horn, Pharm.D.

The Top 100 Drug Interactions: A Guide to Patient Management, 2011 edition, is a pocket-sized reference to drug interactions written by the acknowledged experts in the field. The book contains information on over 5,500 individual, clinically significant drug interactions, grouped in over 150 monographs. Drug interactions may cause significant injury to patients, sometimes even permanent damage, often leading to an increased cost of care. Drug interactions are reported to be the fourth leading cause of death in hospitalized patients. Included in the book are drug interaction listings including a brief summary of the interaction and clear management options for avoiding potential adverse effects caused by the drug interactions; alternative drugs to consider that would avoid an interaction; and information on interactions that may produce clinically important adverse events based on their properties--to assist you in predicting interactions were limited data are available.

Features include:

• Updates to previous monographs reflecting newly published data
• Descriptions of interactions between drugs and herbal products
• Index listing drugs by both generic and trade names
• Table of CYP450 and drug transporter substrates and modifiers—including nearly 375 drugs
• The Hansten and Horn Drug Interaction Probability Scale--to assess the probability of a causal relationship between a potential drug interaction and a patient event
