While palliative care has adopted a holistic approach to treatment, medication driven symptom management ostensibly forms the critical aspect of care. Prescribing in palliative care can be extremely complex because the patient may often have comorbidity, or occasionally multimorbidity. The associated polypharmacy further complicates the pharmacological management of symptoms being caused by the palliative condition. This can be daunting for healthcare professionals and can negatively impact upon the effectiveness of care provided.

Fully revised and updated, the third edition of Drugs in Palliative and Supportive Care provides an accessible and succinct overview of the main drugs that are encountered in palliative care clinical practice. The text begins by providing a clinical pharmacology overview and prescribing guidance, then contains over 160 monographs of palliative care drugs, in an easy to access A-Z format.
Industry Reviews
Review from previous edition I like the handy pocket-size and the drug monographs are organised in an easy-to-use A-Z format. This book would be very useful as a quick reference on any palliative care unit. * IAHPC Newsletter *
