Drug side effects info

I see a lot of posts asking about whether someone's medication may affect their nails - well wonder no more, as there is an excellent and free resource that tells you just that (well, and a lot more).

It's called the British National Formulary and is the same resource that doctors and pharmacists use. They have a website here:

http://bnf.org/bnf/

You do have to register, but this is also free. Remember that you will have access to EXACTLY the same information that drs use - so apart from their experience, you will have the same knowledge! Pretty good eh?

Wow i never thought i would need to use my BNF when starting out in nails but what an excellent idea! I trained as a nurse and believe me, the BNF is a total bible for medications, if you get any book on meds make it this one!

bnf is british national formulary.
its a book with every drug contra indication, dosage , side affects if its prescription only or controlled drug.
it comes out every month and is like a bible when you work in sickbays and medical centres.
