Summary

Now in its 18th Edition, Litt's Drug Eruptions and Reactions Manual (D.E.R.M.), is a guide to drug eruptions, adverse reactions and clinically relevant drugdrug interactions associated with over 1000 drugs. As a compilation of the continual updates from companion website - www.drugeruptiondata.com, this simple, well-organised book systematically catalogues adverse reactions and contains detailed profiles for drugs listed and indexed in alphabetical order. Internationally relied on for nearly 2 decades by dermatologists and medical practitioners, this edition has been condensed from its predecessor to provide the most important information for quick clinical reference. Categories of reference include: trade names, half-life, interactions, pregnancy, additional lists of important reactions and the drugs that cause them and a dossier of trade names, synonyms, and generic names. Containing more than 35,000 adverse reactions, drug eruptions and cutaneous reaction patterns, the book includes prescription and over-the counter drugs and well as biologics and supplements. Litt's D.E.R.M.also notes the number of peer-reviewed references for reaction listings and highlights clinically important and potentially serious drug-drug interactions.
