The Martindale: The Complete Drug Reference (Download PDF)
Thijmen Sijtsema
The Martindale was created by a team of editors and researchers headed by Dr. Robert J. Katz, editor-in-chief, who is a practicing physician. The editors are members of the American Society of Clinical Oncology and the American College of Toxicology. The Martindale contains detailed descriptions of the actions of drugs at different concentrations, in combination and how these drugs affect on the various organ systems of the body. The Martindale was originally created as a text book for medical students and has now been extended to serve as an internationally recognized reference guide.
The Martindale contains complete Pharmacological profiles of drugs. It also provides extensive information on safety, drug interactions, precautions and contraindications, pharmacy chemistry, pharmacy preparation and dosing, therapeutic indications, therapeutic properties, side effects, and drug interactions. The Martindale is designed to provide easy access to critical information on medicinal drugs. Many other textbooks and references are available in the internet, but the Martindale has a clear advantage in that it can be directly downloaded from the Internet website without the need to obtain any additional books or reference materials. The Martindale is constantly being updated and revised, and the publisher has no plans to discontinue the publication of the Martindale. For more details, visit their website.
