Customer Reviews

A lovely book.

Lippincott's Pharmacology

An excellent overview of commonly used drugs, organized meaningfully and with (generally) useful illustrations. I bought it for Step 1 board studying, but if you're in medical school, buy this your first year - it's an excellent reference and I wish I had had this when I was going through my core classes.

Pharm in text

For most medical students, pharmacology is just route memorization. This book does a great deal to let you understand the mechanism of action and indications for the major drugs. By no means is this book to be substituted for your pharmacology textbook but it perfect to read as a companion to your textbook and lecture. Goes through the high yield material and allows you to know what is important for your test. I do not recommend this book for USMLE, I think it is too big and detailed. I think you need to stick with a book that allows you to cram. What i would suggest is to read the pharmacology section of First Aid.

BEST! Pharm book around

I used this book to study for my second year pharm class, and it has to be one of the best medical texts I have used so fair. It is an excellent balance between not enough info, aka ridiculously simple, and sweet jesus Katzung! It is concise, well organized, and has helpful pictures. I can't stress enough that if you are in the market for a pharm book THIS IS THE ONE!!!!!!!!! You will thank me later as you get your H in pharm!

Excellent Pharmacology Review

This book is really superb. I've been using it since the second medical year. One of the best features of this book is its black-and-white illustrations which make your life easy. The info are presented in an outline format for quick reading. It's concise and excellent for review (and for the first time) study! It contains some questions at the end of each chapter. Actually, this is what you need to know for examination purposes.

THE BEST PHARMACOLOGY BOOK IN THE WORLD

If you are looking for an easy to read, well illustrated book for your pharmacology studies,THEN STOP LOOKING!!! This is the book for the dynamic reader who likes: Short and concise chapters. Selfassesment questions by the end of every topicPerfect illustrations Maximum input with minimum of timelossIf less reading and lots of quick learning sounds good to your ears, then don't look any further. Mark my words, this is the best "PHARMACOLOGY-TEACHER" in my town and yours.
