Based on the results of an extensive literature search, an international team of authors have collected the latest information on adverse drug effects from the world literature. New adverse effects are reported and evaluated and previously reported adverse effects are re-evaluated in the light of the most recent information. The book provides the reader with a critical and up-to-date overview of the most recent developments in the field. Selected adverse effects are discussed in the special reviews. Two separate indexes enhance the book and allow the author to enter the text by drug name or by adverse effect. The Annual can be used independently or as a supplement to the standard Encyclopedic work in this field, Meyler's Side effects of Drugs, of which, the Fourteenth Edition was published in December 2000.
