| | This manual contains extensive information about those drugs most commonly used by people with disabilities. It covers how drugs work in the body as a general rule, and then discusses some characteristics of certain groups with disabilities that can change or alter how that person may respond to the drug(s). This manual has a comprehensive list of resources which can assist you to become more informed about medications. Adverse effects of drugs are often first seen by others than those who prescribe them. If you interact with persons who take one or more medications it is important to be aware of the desired, as well as the undesired, effects of these preparations. Consumer's families and direct care staff have a unique opportunity to prevent unwanted and dangerous side effects of drugs by making themselves aware of how drugs most commonly behave, and what to look for when things are not proceeding as they should. This book provides that information!
