This Companion is designed for professionals who devote their efforts to providing high quality care for older people. We hope that it will be particularly useful in aged care facilities, where drug treatment often plays an important role in maintaining or improving the welfare of the residents. It is not intended to be a textbook of geriatric medicine or a comprehensive pharmacopoeia. Rather, the topics included reflect some of the most common illnesses and problems requiring drug treatment that confront the aged.
It is a comprehensive reference of over 500 injectable medicines, including 82 cancer therapies and more than 240 monographs with information about use in infants and children. This ninth edition includes over 60 new medicine monographs and expanded paediatric information to cover intramuscular and subcutaneous routes.
