Drugs in Neurology

The 2nd Edition of Drugs in Neurology is a dedicated clinical reference handbook designed to support evidence-based prescribing across neurology and neuropharmacology. Published by OUP Oxford as part of the Drugs in series, this reference work outlines specific drug indications, contra-indications, side-effects, and important pharmacological interactions.

The text structures its therapeutic coverage around major clinical themes encountered across inpatient and outpatient care. Early sections address acute and common presentations such as headache, vertigo, epilepsy, cerebrovascular disease, and neuropathic pain. Subsequent sections detail medical protocols for long-term and complex conditions, including multiple sclerosis, motor neuron disease, Parkinson's disease, spasticity, sleep disorders, neuro-oncology, and dementia.

This logical arrangement helps readers systematically connect clinical diagnostic categories directly with specific therapeutic options. The handbook delivers targeted reference guidance for medical students, junior doctors, general practitioners, general physicians, neurology and neurosurgery registrars in training, consultants, specialist nurses, and clinical pharmacists.
