Description

The http://www.elsevier.com.ucc.idm.oclc.org/locate/series/sedaSide Effects of Drugs Annual offers clinicians in areas as widespread as dermatology, neuroscience, endocrinology and many other medical disciplines a reliable and critical overview of all that is known in the area of Adverse Drugs Reactions.

An international team of specialists in the various areas have contributed to the current Annual. Particular attention is devoted to those publications providing essentially new information or throwing new light on problems already recognized. All that is truly new and informative (or points to what is misleading) is critically selected from the year's writing.

Every four years the previous set of four Annuals is summarised and evaluated, leading to the publication of the update of the major reference work, http://www.elsevier.com.ucc.idm.oclc.org/locate/series/sedMeyler's Side Effects of Drugs. The /locate/isbn/0444500936Fourteenth updated Edition of Meyler's, published in December 2000, provides the reader with a summary of Side Effects of Drugs Annuals 20 - 23.
