Special problems such as the use of antibiotics during pregnancy, in perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis, and for renal and hepatic insufficiency are also included. A guide for your daily work: handy, concise, and clear.
Adjusted to European standards: Up-to-date substances, authorizations, resistances and trade names.
