Book description
Written with practitioners in mind, this new edition of
Stephen's Detection of Adverse Drug Reactions: Principle and Practice
continues to be one of the corner stones of the pharmaceutical medicine
list. The classic text covers the issues and problems involved in the
detection of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) throughout the life cycle of
a medicine from animal studies through to clinical trials, its
introduction to the market, followed by wide clinical use, and eventual
decline in use or withdrawal. The sixth edition is completely revised
and updated including five new chapters on pharmacogenomics, ADRs with
herbal medicines, safety of medical devices, safety issues with oncology
drugs, and economic aspects of ADRs. All tables and web information
needed in order to practice are included to make this sixth edition a
complete primer for the new practitioner and a reference for the more
experienced. John Talbot, Senior Lecturer, University of
