A straightforward way to master a complex subject! This bestselling textbook presents all the knowledge you need to get through your pharmacology course and beyond—using a clear and accessible approach that makes the material easy and interesting to learn. Progressing logically from a molecular understanding of receptors and drug actions to the clinical uses of the most important groups of drugs, it delivers the latest information on cannabinoids and rimonabant, Cox 2 inhibitors, pharmacogenetics, biopharmaceuticals, and drug abuse—as well as "lifestyle drugs" such as performance-enhancing substances, botulinum toxin, and Viagra®. And now, online access via STUDENT CONSULT makes it an even more effective learning resource!
Reviews
"This textbook nimbly covers a wide, complex subject without dumbing it down… It’s easy to read (in bite sized chunks) and the liberal use of colour, and high quality paper, add a feel-good factor."
BMA Awards 2007
"An excellent and comprehensive book about most aspects of pharmacology. The best thing is that it doesn’t go too deep into details; it gives you just enough information on a basic level, that you actually remember what you just read...A book you can use throughout the whole course. Online supplementary material is available, and is great to use if you don’t want to carry the book around all day"
Medical Student, University of Oslo, Norway
