| Publisher Description: Doctors and pharmacists spend years studying to become eligible for state licensure, yet patients are expected to know a lot about their drugs without much provided information. It is often assumed that patients know about their drugs and classifications, but this is not usually the case. Most patients, especially senior citizens, don't understand their medications, medication treatments, and underlying disease states. Written to help patients and their families, caregivers, and health professionals, this resource offers all of the answers to your questions and empowers patients to be participants in their health care decision-making. |
