TIPS FOR SAFE PRESCRIPTION WRITING** 1. Take time to write legibly. 2. Print if this would be more legible than handwriting. 3. Use a typewriter or computer if necessary. Prescriptions generated by computer- based electronic medical records will eliminate legibility problems. 4. Carefully print the order to avoid misreading. There are many “sound alike” drugs and medications that have similar spellings (ie, Celexa and Celebrex). For a more extensive list, see www.edrugbook.com. 5.

This book is based on the drug presentation style originally used in 1983 in the Clinician’s Pocket Reference, popularly known as the Scut Monkey Book. Our goal is to identify the most frequently used and clinically important medications, including branded, generic, OTC, and herbal products. The book now includes over 1400 generic product listings with the true number approaching 4000 entries when specific brand names are considered. Our unique style of presentation includes key “must-know” facts of commonly used medications, essential for both the student and practicing clinician. The inclu- sion of common uses of medications rather than just the official FDA-labeled indi- cations are based on supporting publications and community standards of care and have been reviewed by our editors and editorial board.
