Dose, side effects, interactions — and the exact words to say to the patient in front of you. Written by a practising pharmacist, built for the counter, not the exam hall.
What's inside
Not a wall of text. Each drug gets the same clean structure, so you can find what you need mid-conversation without losing your thread.
What it's actually for — and the common off-licence uses you'll be asked about.
Typical adult dosing, titration and the numbers worth committing to memory.
The exact phrasing to use with a patient. This is the bulk of the guide — 177 points in total.
What's common, what's serious, and what you must tell them to report.
The clinically important ones that come up at the counter — not an exhaustive BNF dump.
How to take it properly, plus a plain-English mechanism so the advice finally sticks.

The complete version
The drugs that trip people up aren't the ones you dispense every hour — they're methotrexate, lithium, clozapine, amiodarone. The Top 100 Drugs Counselling Guide covers all of them in this same format, plus three bonus sections: Interaction Red Flags, The Counselling Phrase Book and High-Alert Drugs: The Final Check.
