Average Rating:
Informative and compact
I've been ordereing this reference every year for about six years now. What I like about this drug reference book is that there is a clear index in the back so all the drug names are easy to find, both generic and brand names are provided, the dosages are clear, the counter-indications are listed, and it tells what the drug is used for. I hightly recommend the Scut Monkey.
Book review
An excellent pocket companion for medical student,nursing, house officer and anyone needs to have a quick access to drugs list. A concise yet comprehensive book. Highly valuable on the action. makes you always on the go.
Best $10 I ever spent...
You CAN look up the generic or brand name in the back index. I can look up just about any drug faster than I can fire up my PDA. This is as of now the best pocket reference out there, better than Tarascon or PAPR. Just my two cents.... I won't let a few bad reviews ruin my good experience. Heck, if you're curious just flip through it at Barnes and Noble and see for your self what an excellent tool it really is.

In such type of books there is always a problem of indexing--
classified drugs ( systemwise drugs) has not given the page number and brand name and generic name both index should be there for page to look in to it, which is not there.

Difficult to use on a Kindle
It is difficult to look up specific drugs on a Kindle. Kindle's look up brings up random occurances of the drug and it is difficult to figure out which one is the actual drug reference. The author uses a multitude of abbreviations which make it slow going once you actually find the drug. I only have it on the Kindle and cannot comment on the print version.
