When prescribing drugs, physicians must look at the big picture of the drug's benefits in relation to its side effects and possible toxicity. The aim of this handbook is to compile data from various authors, providing clinicians with data that will optimize their decision making in selecting effective, low-risk drug treatments. It also provides research workers, including physicians, pharmacists, and basic scientists, with a sound basis for increasing knowledge of the risk\/benefit ratios of various drugs. \u003cbr\u003eIncludes detailed assessments of the following types of drugs: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cli\u003eAntihypertensive agents\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eDiuretics\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eAnti-diabetic drugs\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eAnticonvulsant drugs\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eDrugs for Parkinson's disease\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eAntihistamines and antiserotonins\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eCytokines and immunomodulators\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eNon-opioid analgesics and anti-inflammatory agents\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eAntibacterial agents\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eAntiviral agents\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eDrugs used in reproductive endocrinology\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eSystemic drugs for skin diseases\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eTopical liposome drugs\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eTopical glucocorticoids\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hans C.
