This was published before the 2007 PDR on CD was available. If you want the more up-to-date 2007 PDR on CD, instead get the PDR Electronic Library 2007 on CD. Amazon has it for $59.99 which is 40% off listed price! The 2007 PDR Electronic Library has the full 2007 PDR + PDR Nonprescription Drugs/Dietary Supplements + PDR Ophthalmic Medicines + PDR Drug Interactions/Side Effects all fully integrated on one CD. So it is much more up-to-date and much more comprehensive and much more portable!

I purchased the 2007 Physician's Desk Reference (PDR) as a Mother's Day 2007 gift for my Mom. My Mom is a nurse, and she has been a nurse for almost 55 years now. She is 71. Mom had not had an updated PDR in close to 10 years, so I got her a new one.

This book is absolutely essential if you want to keep up with the newest in medicines, diseases, cures, and much more! It is the same book you see on your physicians desk and the same one I have saw my physician flip through when he needs to look something up!
Don't miss your opportunity to own a copy because you will not be sorry!
P.S. Ideal for nurses, CNA'S, physicians assistants, and others in the medical field that wants to be updated regularly.
