I went to look up Zarontin, and it wasn't in this book (had obscure information under ethosuximide, though). It is a commonly prescribed to control absence seizures. So I'd like to know why this drug wasn't in there. I went to make a suggestion to the publisher, and you have to fill out a questionaire to be a reviewer. I'm not going to go through all that to share a helpful suggestion.
It's wonderful, otherwise, but a common drug exclusion made me wish I had purchased another drug reference.
