ABOUT THE BOOK

LC Gupta's Practical Standard Prescriber (10th Edition) is an indispensable, highly trusted clinical manual specifically designed to aid medical students, residents, and general practitioners in making quick, safe, and rational prescribing decisions. Published by Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers, this extensively revised tenth edition is thoroughly updated to keep pace with evolving therapeutic guidelines, offering a concise and structured approach to modern pharmacotherapy.

The primary utility of the book lies in its day-to-day practical application at the patient's bedside or in an outpatient clinic. It covers a vast spectrum of human ailments ranging from common day-to-day infections to complex, multi-system systemic disorders. Rather than overwhelming the reader with exhaustive pathogenetic theories, the text drives directly toward clinical management, outlining specific drug selections, exact pediatric and adult dosages, indications, crucial contraindications, and potential side effects.

This milestone tenth edition stands out because it incorporates critical contemporary medical updates, including dedicated chapters on emerging infections such as COVID-19, scrub typhus, and Japanese encephalitis. It also features expanded sections on psychiatry, various types of poisoning, and novel diagnostic modalities. To enhance its clinical utility, the authors have heavily integrated visual aids, filling the text with clinical algorithms, diagnostic flowcharts, practice guidelines, and real-world diagnostic images including X-rays, CT scans, and ECG patterns, making it an excellent rapid-reference toolkit for evidence-based prescription writing.
