Can anyone recall the name of this drug reference book? - Tired and MT
Posted: Aug 12, 2012
I'm trying to locate/remember the name of a drug reference book I used to have. It was ring-bound (plastic), had a white cover, and was slim and lightweight. It just had the meds in alphabetical order. I would like to get another and can't seem to recall any info about it, and therefore can't locate one to purchase!
I believe you mean the Instant Drug Index - white some years, - red, gray, etc. other years.

I believe it's no longer published.
Here's a link to the Amazon page for the 2002 edition - try to imagine it in white and I think this is the one you're talking about.

YES! Any recommendations for a similar, more recent publication? - Tired and MT

What a shame they haven't published in a while. Any recommendations for something similar that is more recent?
I don't know of one like that. I'm using online lookup - sources almost exclusively now.

Sorry I can't offer a suggestion.

It is not thin, but it is alphabetical. They come out with one every year.
Quick Look Drug Book - psw

I have been using the Quick Look Drug Book for about ten years now. You should be able to get it on line, or maybe order it from your local book store. I think I ordered my from Stedman's, but I'm not sure. I usually replace it every 2-3 years.

Most CPs Make Reference To The Book Of Stye 2. Oct 24, 2014Has anyone actually read all 500+ pages? Our group was told we were doing headings the wrong way for an account which is new to our group, but that was not listed in the CP. When questioned, we were directed to the BOS2. Fortunately, we were given the path to find that section. Although some of what was demanded was in the BOS2, other demands were not. Very frustrating. I have found the BOS to be so unwieldy to use, that I normally do not bother.
Of course, this put my panties in a bun ...

Reference Books Nov 20, 2009Question regarding use of reference books....I've been working for the same transcription company for 10 years and have kept very busy in that time, but as of the last six months, they have lost accounts and work has dropped off significantly.
