The Handbook on Injectable Drugs is a collection of summaries of information from the published literature on the pharmaceutics of parenteral medications as applied to the clinical setting. The Handbook is constructed from information derived from 2830 references with the information presented in the standardized structured escribed below.
The purpose of the Handbook is to facilitate the use of this clinical pharmaceutics research by knowledgeable health care professionals for the benefit of patients. The summary information from published research is supplemented with information from the labeling of each product and from other references.The information base summarized in the Handbook on Injectable Drugs is largeand highly complex, requiring thoughtful consideration for proper use.
The Handbook is not, nor should it be considered, elementary in nature or a primer. A single quick glance in a table is not adequate for proper interpretation of this highly complex information base.
Proper interpretation includes the obvious need to consider and evaluate all relevant research information and results.
Additionally, information on the formulation components, product attributes (especially pH), and the known stability behaviors of each parenteral drug, as well as the clinical situation of the patient, mu stbe included in a thoughtful, reasoned evaluation of clinical pharmaceutics questions The Handbook on Injectable Drugs is designed for use as a professional reference and guide to the literature on the clinical pharmaceutics of parenteral medications.
The intended audience consists of knowledgeable health care professionals, particularly pharmacists, well versed in the formulation and clinical use of parenteral medications and who have the highly specialized knowledge base, training, and skills set necessary to interpret and apply the information. Practitioners who are not well versed in the formulation, essential properties, and clinical application of parenteral drugs should seek the assistance of more knowledgeable and experienced health care professionals to ensure patient safety.Users of the Handbook must recognize that no reference work, including this one, can substitute for adequate decision-making by health care professionals.
