Description:
The pharmaceutical industry is currently faced with formidable opportunities and challenges. Opportunities are afforded by recent progress in genetic knowledge and manipulation that facilitate pharmaceutical management of disease processes to an unprecedented degree. Challenges include the need to produce more clinically relevant drugs to market faster than competitors. The risk in meeting this challenge is that of safety. Recent events, such as the withdrawal of COX-2 inhibitors from the market in the face of reported adverse effects, have proven very damaging to the companies involved, as well as to the government agencies charged with drug approval. Thus, the availability of accurate, evaluated information on adverse effects is increasingly a critical market need. Building on the success of previous editions, this key title has been extensively reorganised and expanded and now comprises almost 1,500 individual drug articles. Each article contains detailed and authoritative information about the adverse effects of each drug, with comprehensive references to the primary literature.
