Great reference if you are looking for specific information about dosing. May be annoying for since all drugs are listed under their therapeutic category. But also helps you to suggest potential substitution for the same reason.

I do medical transcription and find this a ready source.

I've used the pocket pharmacopoeia for many years, and it's the only book I'll buy every year when the new edition comes out. It's amazing how they can stuff so much info into a pocket-sized book. Sure, ePocrates and other handheld databases have more info, but I can usually look up a medicine in the pharmacopoeia faster than it takes to open up a Palm and type in the med name. This and the Sanford guide are the two most important quick reference guides available - I only wish the Sanford guide was as easy to read as the pharmacopoeia.
The medications are organized by specialty (e.g. cardiovascular, neurological), but all of them are indexed by both generic and brand names, so I usually turn to the index first. Dosing information, pill size, pregnancy class, and relative cost are all listed concisely. There are also tables scattered throughout the book in appropriate areas, such as topical corticosteroid potencies.
