Book spotlights concerns about prescribing practices

Article Abstract:

The book examines the use Tambocor, a Class I antiarrhythmic drug. Research demonstrated that use of the drug could be risky for some heart attack victims. Physicians continue to prescribe the drug to such patients, however, despite changed labeling and ample dissemination of information about the danger.
