New Drug Updates!

New drugs are approved every day, but with this addendum The Essential Massage Companion is never obsolete.  It contains over 3,000 drugs; here are all the newest pharmaceuticals for the most up-to-date list of massage precautions anywhere.   The addendum covers 50 drugs approved in the last half of 2005 and all of 2006.  Each drug listing points to the reference pages in The Essential Massage Companion for all the critical precautions and quick answers have come to rely on.

The addendum is pre-formatted to fit perfectly into The Essential Massage Companion.  Glue or tape the pages to the note section in the back of your book.  If you then use the index and cannot find the drug, you'll know you have it in the addendum.
