Medical Pharmacology at a Glance

About this title

Review:

"Although the book is intended for medical students, any students in health-related disciplines who must master pharmacology content may find this book helpful ... The approach used in this series will be appreciated by visual learners." (Doody's, 3 August 2012)

From the Back Cover:

Widely recognised as the best starting point for pharmacology study, the internationally best-selling Medical Pharmacology at a Glance is an ideal companion for all students of the health sciences.

Key principles are supported by coloured schematic diagrams - invaluable as both an introduction to medical pharmacology, and revision in the run-up to pharmacology exams.

Revised and thoroughly updated throughout, and reflecting changes to the content and assessment methods used by medical schools, Medical Pharmacology at a Glance:

• Introduces the basic principles of drug action, interaction, absorption and excretion
• Bases chapters on diseases and syndromes, for clinically-focused learning
• Includes references to the pathophysiology of disease, to aid understanding of drug choice and action
• Indicates the therapeutics of choice for specific disorders and conditions
• Features cross references between discussion of drug classes and diseases
• Includes self-assessment cases studies with full answers, for revision and review
• Features a new chapter on immunosuppressants and antirheumatoid drugs

Now includes a brand new companion website, with cases and fully downloadable flashcards, at www.ataglanceseries.com/pharmacology
