This handy, easy-to-use reference provides the time-saving tools medical transcriptionists need to confirm or determine which drug is being referred to in dictation, cross reference a generic or brand name drug, and find specialized information about groups of drugs. It's the perfect companion to the newest volume of Saunders Pharmaceutical Word Book, allowing the user to cross-reference a brand name drug to its corresponding generic drug names, investigational code names, indications/approved uses, street slang (cross-referenced to approved drug names), HazMat (hazardous materials), and drug manufacturers/distributors.

• A listing of hazardous materials, including industrial chemicals, cleaning supplies, swimming pool chemicals, etc. is included - particularly useful for transcribing emergency room documents.
• A section of street drug slang cross-references slang terms to the approved drug name, helping users transcribe mental health or emergency medical documents.

• A new section lists the manufacturers and distributors of drugs - a time-saving resource for transcriptionists.
