Medical Pharmacology at a Glance Michael J. Neal

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

Medical Pharmacology at a Glance Bewertungen

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)
