Litts Drug Eruption & Reaction Manual is a comprehensive resource designed to provide clinicians with essential information for making informed decisions about patient management. The foundation of this manual is the extensive Litts Drug Eruption & Reaction database, which boasts an extensive collection of over 1800 drug profiles and over 73,000 documented drug reactions. This extensive database is widely recognized and relied upon internationally by medical practitioners, thanks to its unparalleled focus on adverse effects and cutaneous reactions.

To commemorate the 30th edition of this manual, we are offering a special promotion to purchasers of a new print copy in 2024. For a limited time, these buyers will receive a 12-month free access to the Litts Drug Eruption & Reaction database, providing them with even more comprehensive insights into drug reactions and adverse effects.

This edition of Litts Drug Eruption & Reaction Manual is packed with valuable features to assist clinicians in managing patients with a wide range of medications. It includes a comprehensive A to Z listing of the 1500 most consulted drug and herbal profiles, encompassing generic names, trade names, pharmaceutical companies, indications, half-life, and pregnancy categories. In addition, the manual provides detailed descriptions of important reactions, lists drugs that cause significant adverse reactions, and categorizes drugs into main classes for easy reference.

One of the key strengths of this manual is its use of 28 tables that show reactions of members of a specific drug class. These tables enable clinicians to quickly assess whether a reaction is common to all drugs within that class, a majority of them, or is known in only a handful. This information is crucial for making informed decisions about changing drugs within the same class, as it helps clinicians avoid potential interactions and side adverse effects.

Furthermore, the manual includes 2 tables that showcase reported genetic associations with drug reactions. This information can be particularly valuable for clinicians who are caring for patients with genetic predispositions to certain drug reactions. By understanding these genetic associations, clinicians can tailor their treatment plans and minimize the risk of adverse events.

In conclusion, Litts Drug Eruption & Reaction Manual is a indispensable resource for clinicians seeking to stay informed about drug reactions and adverse effects. With its comprehensive database, detailed descriptions, and user-friendly tables, this manual provides clinicians with the essential information they need to make informed decisions about patient management. As a special offer for this 30th edition, purchasers of a new print copy in 2024 will receive a 12-month free access to the Litts Drug Eruption & Reaction database, further enhancing their ability to provide optimal care to their patients.
