Summary: Very Good-not a replacement for the (LaSage) EMS Field Guide
Comment: The EMS Medication Pocket Field Guide by Dillman is a monster in comparison to the LaSage ALS EMS Field Guide. It's nearly twice as thick and a touch wider (7/8" thick x 3 1/4" wide x 6 1/4" (including spiral which is 1 3/16" diameter) vs. LaSage at (<7/16 thick x 3 wide x 5 5/8" tall). Dillman's is too big to make it into my uniform shirt pocket where the LaSage fits acceptably.
However, it has listings for roughly twice the prescription meds (~3400 vs. 1600) and a much heavier focus on toxicology. Half of the guide (113 of 207 pages) is devoted to the prescription meds, and it is in the same style as LaSage except that there is no mention of generic names in the trade name listings, and vice-versa. About 60 pages are devoted to description of the different drug classes. There's a nice pharmacological differentials section that lists potential pharmacological causes for different SxS, as well as other perks such as a slightly more thorough lab value section. This makes a great supplement to LaSage. Contrary to what you might guess from the title, there's no generic formulary section (which in my opinion is good given the supplementary role that this guide fills).
They put some time into creating this, and it was a worthwhile purchase. Hopefully in future versions they will make it more compact, taking out a lot of the unused white space, and do little things such as round the corners, improve the indexing some, and add cross referencing between trade and generic names, all of which I'd be willing to pay a touch more for. In summary, if you are at all frustrated by the incompleteness of the drug listings or the lack of toxicology in LaSage, Dillman's is a valuable guide.
