Cancer Pain Relief, Second Edition, With a guide to opioid availability
While these guidelines were issued in 1996, much of the information contained within remains important. Because of changing recommendations about drugs and their dosing, including the introduction of new pain drugs and formulations, please consult more recent medical sources, such as the most recent WHO Essential Medicines List; and WHO guidelines from relevant departments, such as Essential Medicines, Cancer, and AIDS. |
