Symptoms in the Pharmacy is an indispensable guide to the management of common symptoms seen in the pharmacy.

There are new sections and case studies for 'POM' to 'P' switches including chloramphenicol, sumatriptan, diclofenac, naproxen and amorolfine.

This edition features colour photographs of skin conditions for the first time enabling the differentiation and diagnosis of common complaints.

The public health and illness prevention content have been expanded to support this increasingly important aspect of the pharmacist’s work.
