Over the last two decades there has been a revolution in the field of reproductive endocrinology. Advances in hormone assays have enabled more accurate diagnosis and hence appropriate treatment.
'Drug Therapy in Reproductive Endocrinology' is written by recognised authorities in the field and will provide a source of up-to-date practical information on the diagnosis and day-to-day management of reproductive problems. These include: disturbances of the menstrual cycle; disorders of puberty; hirsutism; hyperprolactinaemia; male and female infertility; hormonal contraception; therapy of the menopause; premenstrual syndrome; treatment of osteoporosis; medical management of endometriosis and uterine fibroids; reproductive malignancies.
A unique feature of the book is the inclusion of a pharmacopoeia of all drugs discussed, detailing their kinetics, major adverse effects, mode of action and contraindications. Reference has also been made, for American readers, to drugs licensed in the UK which are also available in the US.
