The first drug guide to be arranged by ailment rather than drug name, What Do I Take? provides information on more than 400 over-the-counter products rated for more than 50 specific ailments. Based on a national survey of pharmacists and members of APhA, the products are rated on a 10-point scale for effectiveness, speed of relief, ease of use and frequency of recommendation. What Do I Take? also includes a "Pharmacists Say..." section, which contains useful advice about the ailment and recommended medication; a "When to See a Doctor" section identifying important warning signs; an annotated reference index and a glossary of active ingredients. The American Pharmaceutical Association (APhA) is the national professional society of pharmacistsand is the largest such organization with 48,000 members. APhA publishes American Pharmacy, Pharmacy Todayand the Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences.
