5 out of 5 stars Great resource, but get the bigger size to save your eyes!   December 2, 2008
this is a must have for MDs and pharmacists to treat any sort of infection. It has suggested treatments, doses, and durations. In addition, it has a section where microbes that are relatively uncommon and the drugs that treat them. It has renal dosages and common and severe side effects for the drugs. It also has a nice resources page for various items, including drugs that may prolong the QT interval, the CDC, AIDS, etc. I recommend getting the larger version, as sometimes I cannot see the small print.


1 out of 5 stars beware of microscopic print   November 30, 2008
excellent reference book--BUT the copy i received is in microscopic print and therefore useless to me--I must have missed this fact in ordering--in the future MICROSCOPIIC print should be soelled out


5 out of 5 stars Sanford Antimicrobial guide 2008   November 24, 2008
This product is an invaluable resource for the medical clinician on the go. it is concise, complete, and invaluable for a patient care professional for selecting and assessing antimicrobial care for an ill patient. I refer to it frequently and would be lost without it while on duty in the hospital setting.


4 out of 5 stars comprehensive but hard to read   October 19, 2008
If you are thinking about getting this book, I suggest the PDA version, because this book is designed to be a "pocket book", so it's small. The vast amount of information therefore has to be somehow packed into this book. The print is very small, I don't think any one can read this book from more than 2 inches away. The information is great, though.

Well
I would like to say that this is a great book, yes its true.
The only prob is that you got to know what you're doing...and you got to know this book well...otherwise you're not going to come up with anything...
IF you pick up this book thinking that you're going to come up with the greatest antibiotic combinations you're wrong. You're just going to sit it there somewhere. and look elsewhere.
You need to know how to read it, as it is full of acronyms for lots of antibiotics; and so forth and so on...
You need to get used to it ask attending that might have you used it b4 so that you know what you're up against and stuff...especially if you're going to be working with critically ill patients; who are in icus
They need the best combinations possible of antibiotic ...
Make sure you protect you're calling...
