“There is much to commend. There are useful preliminary sections on the complexity of drug–drug interactions and the emerging role of electronic decision support systems… I was particularly pleased to see the inclusion of interactions with herbal and common over-the-counter medications, alcohol, ‘classic’ recreational drugs, vitamins and minerals, and key food groups.”—Daniel Marks, University College London Hospital, London, British Journal of Hospital Medicine
