Clear, easy to read, up-to-date and yet thorough. This book takes just a few pages to summarize the key features of all of the major systemic drugs (including biologics) used in dermatology--even their off-label uses. I really enjoy the brief history of each drug (e. g. : "The German chemist Schweckendick first reported the successful use of systemic fumaric acid esters (FAEs) in psoriasis in 1959. He suffered from the disease, and experimented on himself with various forms of fumarate, hypothesizing that these would improve an underlying disturbance in the citric acid cycle. " -p. 146), as well as the excellent section on Monitoring each drug. This is high-quality and very useful clinically! Rating: 5 / 5 This is just what I was looking for!
