Drugs and Drugs is a resource for clinicians to learn how to safely prescribe the most common medications.

The Editorial Committee consists of Ann Thompson, Peter Hamilton, Sheri Koshman, and Tim Chan. The chapters were authored by members of the Department of Medicine - University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB, Canada. Since its introduction in 2005, the handbook has been a favourite amongst medical students and it has underwent numerous editions with the latest being our fifth edition (2020).

With over 130 chapters in the book - each section contains useful tidbits explaining the mechanism of actions, common dosages and important practical clinical tips on how to prescribe these medications.
