The PDR Family Guide to Prescription Drugs
The American Medical Association Family Medical Guide -
edited by Charles Clayman
The Merck Manual of Diagnosis and Therapy

AThe PDR Family Guide to Prescription Drugs - All Levels

A general reference book to explain the many prescription drugs which are on the market. I really think this is a good thing to have on hand, right next to the first aid guide. It is hard to be involved in herbalism and not encounter someone who is already taking prescription medications.  As good herbalists we must have the ability to at least understand what a certain drug is and whether is might have some interactions with any herbs the person might be taking.
