The author has exerted every effort to ensure that drug selection and dosage set forth in this book are in accord with current recommendations and practice at the time of completion of this book. However, in view of ongoing research, changes in government regulations, and the constant flow of information relating to drug therapy and drug reactions, the reader is urged to check the package insert for each drug for any change in indication and dosage and for added warning and precautions. This is particularly important when the recommended agent is a new drug or infrequently employed drug.

Preface:

There is always a gap between what is studied and what is practical. So is the case with drugs in the market. The study of pharmacology classifies drugs in a specific way which is not used in the practical life. Besides the available drug sources are as diverse as the countries they came from. This stimulated me to start this project of classifying drugs in Saudi Arabia. The idea of classifying drugs available necessitated selection of a classifying system from the very diverse systems used in the world. Knowing that even the apparently identical systems of ATC (Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical Classification systems) from different sources are really non-identical, this necessitated more care in placing drugs in the different groups. As a practical drug knowledge resource, some additional information was added to the basic drug information that included indications, contraindications and drug adverse effects. Drug manufacturer, drug distributors listings were added for the benefit of more reliable product verification. The end result of this effort is a book which is titled "Saudi Drug Index". . . . . . .

Neurotoxic sideeffects (including sensory peripheral neuropathy) are dose limiting. Other sideeffects include gastrointestinal disturbances, ototoxicity, and myelosuppression. Manufacturers advise renal function monitoring in moderate impairment. Routine premedication with a corticosteroid, an antihistamine and a histamine H2receptor antagonist is recommended to prevent severe hypersensitivity reactions; hypersensitivity reactions may occur rarely despite premedication, In addition to doselimiting myelosuppression, side-effects of irinotecan and topotecan include gastro-intestinal effects (delayed diarrhoea requiring prompt treatment may follow irinotecan treatment), asthenia, alopecia, and anorexia. retinoic acid syndrome (fever, dyspnoea, acute respiratory distress, pulmonary infiltrates, pleural effusion, hyperleukocytosis, hypotension, oedema, weight gain, hepatic, renal and multi-organ failure) requires immediate treatmentconsult product literature
