Introduction to Pharmacology Reviews

"This book does have strengths, it highlights where herbal remedies may counteract with pharmacologically prescribed drugs. As many patients are supplementing their diets and health with herbal and non pharmacological agents it is a good idea for the student to have an understanding of these issues. The other strength of this book is the additional web resources." Nurse Education in Practice, March 2009
