[Dysphagia] bite reflex

[eripley at yahoo.com (Irene Campbell-Taylor)]

There is, to my knowledge, nothing similar to my CD on medications and dysphagia that was developed precisely for this reason. The PDR and CPS are of no use in this respect - nor is the pharmacist. The CD came from a request to write a teaching article for pharmacists because they do not know the literature or how to interpret side effects such as "ataxia" as being related to swallowing dysfunction.

Do any of you know of a good, easy to use "PDR like" reference, either
a book or online, that sorts medication by class and side affects. I
have such a hard time keeping up with all of the new medications, drug
interactions and which and how they affect swallowing. I usually end up
having to run to the pharmacist as a reference. I really need book form
as we do not have a CD ROM on our work computer.
