The 2002 edition offers complete, FDA–approved descriptions of the most commonly used OTC medications, four separate indices and in–depth data on ingredients, indications and drug interactions. It also includes a valuable Companion Drug Index that lists common diseases and frequently encountered side effects, the prescription drugs associated with them, plus OTC products and dosages recommended for symptomatic relief. A new section with information on nutritional supplements, vitamins and herbal remedies is also included. Plus color photographs of hundreds of OTC drugs are also included for quick identification, all cross– referenced to the detailed drug descriptions.
