Carry this with you in rounds till you memorize all the facts of all the most commonly used meds. Then add as more obscure drugs are used...you'll find your knowledge base growing quickly.

Hello,

Thankx for the info and the links! Very helpful.

I see the Stahl book is from the UK, are the meds still applicable here? And is the publication year a deterrent?


Thanks!

No, the UK has Prozac in their drinking water -- really!, they do: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/3545684.stm

Of course it's applicable here! Stahl is an American psychiatrist. His books are published by Cambridge University Press.
 
Yeah, 15% of fluoxetine is excreted in the feces (80% in the urine/11.6% unchanged). The feces and urine mixes with water in the sewage, then that sewage is treated and re-released as part of the drinking water supply.

Yummy!
