Does anyone in Saskatoon want the 2003 CPS?
Let me know if you want it. I'll be in town this weekend ... otherwise it'll be at my parents' place.

cps = compendium of pharmaceuticals and specialties
It's a big book that lists the 'monographs' (aka detailed drug information) for most of the prescription and some non-prescription medications in Canada. Although a good reference, the manufacturers' pay to get their drug in the CPS so it is, of course, biased.
I have the new 2004 version - included in my rather cheap student membership with CPhA (Canadian Pharmacists Association) ... normally they run around $160. So my old 2003 version (virtually the same as the 2004 but without a couple of the newest drugs) is not so useful. Besides - we have multiple copies at work.
So if anyone wants it....

I think we have an old one of those at our massage clinic at school. Maybe you could donate it to McKay Massage Clinic, as a reference tool...but I don't know how much they change, I guess there are always new medications coming out, yeah!

at the risk of sounding ignorant--what's cps?
