Reviews
""The latest edition is a welcome update in the sometimes confusing over-the-counter arena. This includes a chapter on COVID-19 and Long-COVID and information about desogestrel. Insights by a GP in every chapter are always welcome. I would highly recommend the book to pharmacy students, trainee pharmacists and pharmacists."" —Babir Malik, University of Bradford
