E-drug: Consumers' Guide to Safe, Cost-effective Medicines (cont'd)
----------------------------------------------------------
Consumer Reports in the U.S. produces a book called "Complete Drug
Reference". It is quite good although it covers more than just OTC
products. The cost is US$39.95 and you can order it from:
Consumer Reports Books
P.I. Box 10637
Des Moines, IA 50336-0637
USA
(The ad I'm reading says to mention key 114454 when ordering.)
Also the U.S. based Public Citizen's Health Research Group has put out
a series of books under the overall title of "Best Pills, Worst Pills".
I don't have ordering information but you can check out their web
