Conn's Current Therapy 2026

4 Stars! "...provides very concise, evidence based, direct recommendations for treatments of all adult’s and children's medical problems... with the aim of providing practical treatment options, rather than pathophysiology. The book is organized in an understandable manner throughout and contains clear headings, bullet points for treatment options, drug dose tables, and clinical pearls that summarize the most clinically relevant information for each drug and treatment, allowing rapid retrieval of this information from point of care.... This book was created for the purpose of providing current, evidence-based therapy recommendations to physicians who treat both common and complicated illnesses.... The 2026 version has fulfilled this purpose using current guidelines, newly approved medications, and changing standards of care.... Overall, this book is an appropriate and useful resource for healthcare providers in clinical practice.... This book will remain an excellent reliable and resourceful tool for clinical practitioners." Review by Vyom Patel, DO (Indiana University School of Medicine). ©Doody's Review Service, 2026.
