Book excerpt: This authoritative, objective and well-referenced book provides information essential to those concerned with improving the rational use of drugs in the management of acute diarrhoea in infants and young children and with tackling the immense problems posed by the prescribing of clinically useless and potentially dangerous drugs. Noting that diarrhoeal diseases continue to claim some 4 million young lives each year, the book gathers the information needed to argue against the widespread use of medicine that have no established clinical benefits, are frequently harmful, and - most importantly - may delay or replace effective treatment measures. The book also responds to the problem of antibiotic resistance and the corresponding need to curtail the unnecessary widespread use of antimicrobial medications.
