Injectable Drugs Guide is a user-friendly, single point of reference for healthcare professionals in the safe and effective prescribing, administration and monitoring of injectable medicines. The guide consists of a A-Z listing of injectable drugs in monograph format. Each monograph covers:
- pre-treatment checks
- dosing regimens
- preparation and administration
- compatibility and stability information
- monitoring requirements during treatment
- side effects, interactions and pharmacokinetic information.
Designed to support the National Patient Safety Agency (NPSA) risk assessment process, each drug has a risk rating, with the text being reviewed and assessed at a number of hospital pharmacies.
