Reviews / Votes
"This nearly pocket-sized book is an excellent summary and simplification of the use of systemic medications commonly practiced by dermatologists. For those physicians not regularly using immunosuppressive, immunomodulatory or other specialized pharmacologic agents, this volume is a hand reference. The writing is clear and logically organized, with a comprehensive inclusion of medications." - Eden Pappo Lake, MD, Department of Dermatology, University of Illinois College of Medicine, Chicago, Clinics in Dermatology"... a handy reference ... to consider when trying to decide how to correctly prescribe a systemic agent .... Recommended doses are stated throughout."
-Patricia Wong, MD, Private Practice in Doody's Book Review Service
"The second edition of the Handbook of Systemic Drug Treatment in Dermatology is an outstanding resource that helps to alleviate worrying by providing precise guidelines and advice in managing our most infirmed patients who require these medications."
- Warren R. Heymann, MD, Departments of Medicine and Pediatrics, Division of Dermatology, Cooper Medical School of Rowan University
"This little handbook saves a lot of time, and I feel confident following its recommendations. Each section is clearly laid out, making it easy to find what you need in clinic..." - Neill Hepburn, MD, FRCP Consultant Dermatologist, Lincoln County Hospital
"This updated edition includes new arrivals ... There are really useful appendices ... Quite simply, it is indispensable! I have it with me in every clinic and often refer to it in discussions with pharmacists (who have been known to borrow my copy and forget to return it). The book easily fits into a bag." - Neill Hepburn, MD, FRCP Consultant Dermatologist, Lincoln County Hospital
