Part of the Drugs in series, this easily accessible pocket-sized guide covers the optimal use of medications when treating patients with neurological ailments. This second edition of Drugs in Neurology outlines the indications, contra-indications, side-effects, and important interactions of each drug.

Since the publication of the first Drugs in Neurology, a revolution in the neurological sciences has been underway with numerous previously untreatable conditions, receiving disease modifying research.

This edition has been updated in its entirety to mirror the significant progress made in each field of neurology, including new drug profiles on emerging/recently licensed agents and a new chapter covering Neurogenetics.

Practical aspects related to prescribing and therapeutic drug monitoring are explored and based on the most up-to-date evidence-based guidance. This practical handbook is relevant to neurology and neurosurgery registrars in training, consultants, general practitioners, general physicians, junior doctors, specialist nurses, pharmacists, and medical students.
