Handbook of Topical Drug Treatment in Dermatology

This book is the first authoritative volume dedicated to topical medication treatments in dermatology. This book provides an up-to-date synopsis of the clinical applications and uses of topical drugs in dermatological diseases. It provides to the reader - at their fingertips - the recommended dermatologic uses for topical drugs. It correlates dermatologic conditions with topical drug treatments listed alphabetically. In addition, this volume discusses the clinical implications, special patient populations, drug pharmacokinetics, adverse effects and precautions, and will make comparisons to other therapeutic alternatives to treat a dermatologic condition, as appropriate. Handbook of Topical Drug Treatment in Dermatology is an essential resource for physicians, pharmacists, fellows, residents in dermatology and general medical practice, as well as students in medicine, pharmacy and other health care professions. It serves as a companion handbook to the Handbook of Systemic Drug Treatment in Dermatology, currently in its 3rd edition.
