Concise & Informative

pharmacology was a subject that my brother, my sister and even my mom all had a hard time with. this book was very clear-cut on info about different drugs i had to study (dosage, effects on different age groups, drug interactions, etc.) without a lot of dancing around like most textbooks do. has case studies within the chapters which are pretty interesting to read (but they usually only cover the effects of 2-3 drugs most of the time). not too many bad things to say about this book. i suppose the size and weight of it can be somewhat intimidating, but that goes for most science books.

Pharmacology Book

This book is not very hard to understand, it is straight forward. It explain a lot of things in detail. If you want to learn pharmacology, I will recommend this book.

Fantastic

The book arrived in a short period of time and was brand new. I'm immensely pleased with my order. Thanks!

Good Textbook

This is a required text for my Nursing Pharmacology class. The text is pretty good. It's straightforward and easy to understand. There are also nice review chapters of different body systems before the chapters on the drugs for the different body systems. There are also continuous case studies throughout the chapter to help you apply the knowledge in the text. The only thing I'm torn about whether I like it or not is how the drugs are presented. There are small sections within the text for each drug that present Pharmcokinetics/ADR, Drug interactions, etc, but it can be difficult to go through all the drug info when you're learning about the drug for the first time. I'm not sure if the drug info would be better placed in boxes separate from the main text. Either way, that doesn't detract from the good info in the text.
