Struggling to connect the mechanism of a drug to the patient in front of you? Pharmacology courses hand students dense receptor diagrams and half-life equations, but rarely explain why a nurse practitioner titrates one beta-blocker slowly while pushing another in an emergency. That gap between memorized facts and bedside judgment is where most learners lose confidence, and where clinical mistakes quietly take root.
Foundations of Pharmacology closes that gap. Across 25 chapters, this 2026 edition walks from the molecular basis of drug-receptor binding through the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic principles that govern every prescription, then into organ-system-based therapeutics: cardiovascular, respiratory, central nervous system, endocrine, antimicrobial, gastrointestinal, renal, and oncologic pharmacology.
Each chapter is built for how clinicians actually learn:
- Clinical vignettes that place a real patient in front of every core concept
- Rapid-review sidebars for last-minute exam and shift-prep scanning
- Drug-dosing snapshot tables covering dose, route, frequency, and monitoring
- Red-flag boxes marking the errors that cause the most harm
- Over 45 detailed clinical illustrations teaching mechanism, anatomy, and interaction pathways
A free bonus video course is included: scan the QR code on the final page for access to a full library of instructor-led pharmacology video lessons that reinforce every organ system covered in the text.
Whether you are a medical student building your foundation, a nurse practitioner or physician assistant preparing for boards, or a pharmacist sharpening clinical reasoning, this reference gives you the mechanism, the dose, and the reason it matters, all in one place.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
