Description:

The most trusted and efficient pharmacology review – complete with 1000+ Q&As -- and now in full color

5 STAR DOODY'S REVIEW!
"The authors have designed this book to foster the mastery of pharmacology for students who have to pass course, module, or certification examinations....This is one of the best review books in pharmacology. The latest version is far superior, both in content and presentation, to previous versions. I give it my highest recommendation."--Doody's Review Service

From the authors of Basic and Clinical Pharmacology, the leading pharmacology textbook, here is the newest edition of the best review book available for medical pharmacology course exams and board examinations. This skill-building guide comes with over 1000 review questions and answers –- far more than most other pharmacology reviews –- and a chapter-based approach that facilitates use with course notes or larger texts.

Features:

  • A new full-color presentation
  • Organized to reflect course syllabi, focusing on the clinical use and pharmacology of drug categories, rather than individual drugs
  • Two complete practice exams
  • A valuable appendix of test-taking strategies
  • Chapters that include valuable learning aids such as:
    --Short discussion of the major concepts that underlie basic principles or drug groups
    --Explanatory figures and tables
    --Review questions followed by answers and explanations
    --Drug Trees in drug-oriented chapters that visually organize drug groups
    --A list of high-yield terms and definitions you need to know
  • Skill Keeper questions that prompt you to review previous material to understand links between related topics
  • A checklist of tasks you should be able to do, once you have finished the chapter
  • Summary Tables that list the important drugs and include key information about their mechanisms of action, effects, clinical uses, pharmacokinetics, drug interactions, and toxicities

5Good for the questionsDec 24, 2010
By Meyerlem
I got this as a supplement for med pharm class. The organization of the drugs seems good but I primarily use this book for the questions which are plentiful and hit the major points. The explanations for the questions are well written. The chapters are very short and concise so this is probably not a great book for those looking for in depth mechanisms/modes of action. I expect this to be a good review book for Step 1. It is important to note that this book does not have an online option for the questions which seems to be standard on almost all new med review books. The authors should consider partnering with thepoint or studentconsult for the next edition in order to implement online access.

4Good for Med schoolDec 20, 2010
By Sam Mitchel
For anyone in medical school, this is a great book. However, it is not much different than the last (8th) edition. This edition adds nice tables at the end of the chapter, but 97% of the chapter content is the same. So if you're on a budget, the last edition is fine. Also, this edition is about twice as large as the 8th, only because they have increased the font size and spacing.

5So far, great.Jul 11, 2010
By B. Bakir
I just received this book a few days ago and have read the first few chapters. My impression is that this is a great mix of board review with actual pharmacology. Don't expect in-depth cell-signaling though. This isn't the point of this book. It's a pharm book for med students looking to prep for the boards.

The pictures are in color and very pretty. LOTS of multiple choice questions at the end of each chapters. Probably a worthwhile investment for most medical students who want a dedicated pharmacology review text.

4Great introductory/review textJan 22, 2011
By David Henderson
When studying medical pharmacology it is easy to get bogged down to facts and mechanisms and lose sight of the clinical picture. This text does a great job of organization for clinical practice, which for me makes it much easier to digest. It is also written with a direct descriptive style that is better for my learning style than the outline format found in Lippincott's review. Fortunately it lacks the overwhelming depth of Goodman and Gilman's or Katzung's pharmacology texts. There are useful diagrams throughout. I gave it four stars, however, because the end of chapter questions are don't really represent the board-style, as they are primarily basic recall. I also question the medication choices as high-yield. Still one of the most useful resources I have found for pharmacology.

4Okay for boardsMay 24, 2011
By Abigail Keisler
I bought this book at the recommendation of the Office of Medical Student Education at my school. It does a pretty good job of explaining pharmacology, including kinetics, drug interactions, etc. The only thing I don't like is the way the book is divided up. It's in sections of things like "Drugs for Heart Failure" or "Drugs for Arrhythmias." Because of this, one drug is mentioned several places in the book, and you have to keep flipping back and forth to get all the information.

This may be helpful for some people, but it's not my favorite way to study.

However, the first few chapters of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics are really great, and each chapter has practice questions (with answers and explanations).
