I used the APhA book. It's almost the size of the Dipiro book. If I was a retail pharmacist, I'd keep a copy on hand. If it's possible to treat OTC, it describes rudimentary diagnosis techniques, what to recommend, and when to refer to physician.

Why don't you read it and tell us about it. It's sold in British pound... and most contributors on this forum are from North America.

Yes we all have...its a conspiracy to deprive you of information.

I haven't come across it before but I have used the book that WVU referred to. The cover art on your book is grody. 😛 Sorry I don't have better feedback for you.

For community pharmacists, the APhA Handbook of Nonprescription Drugs is probably your best bet. The Washington Manuel is a smaller book you can keep in your coat pocket that I also use regularly. If you practice in America, you may want to get one that focuses on American products. Since this is in Pounds, it may have stuff in it that's not even available here.
