Abstract
Much progress has been made in the treatment of many diseases, and some of the numerous new drugs available today represent important therapeutic advances. New uses have been found for drugs which formerly had been employed only in certain circumstances.
The increased potency of drugs is warranted only when it permits significant reduction of the dosage administered or reduction in cost to the patient.
Although some mixtures of drugs are practical and necessary, most of them are not as effective as individual agents used in combination.
The author discusses some of the important new drugs, particularly those used in treating hematologic conditions.
