EXCELLENT USMLE BOARD REVIEW!

A concise overview of the most important principles in clinical pharmacology, with drug comparisons in clear chart format. The book blends the essentials of basic pharmacology and clinical pharmacology so that transition from classroom to clinic is less abrupt. The text that surrounds the tables emphasize key issues pertaining to therapeutic rationale, basic pharmacologic principles and clinical use of drugs. Topics include Principles of Pharmacology (Pharmacokinetics, drug actions at multiple levels, drug interactions, tolerance, dependence and withdrawal), Peripheral Nervous System, Central Nervous System, Cardiovascular and Hematology Drugs, Respiratory Drugs, GI Drugs, Anti-Infective Agents, Anticancer drugs, Anti-Inflammatory and Immunomodulating Agents, and Endocrine System Drugs.

Love this series!

Love this series! I am a fan of this series and already own the one for Patho as well. FT nursing student here. These books are great supplements that help the important topics sink in. I learn best through multiple methods. These are quick and to the point.

Great Book with a Somewhat Deceptive Title!

This is a great book, but it has a somewhat deceptive title. Honestly, I don't think pharmacology can be made ridiculously simple under any conditions.

This book, however, has been written in the simplest language possible, and it begins by explaining the principles of pharmacology, which helps a lot. After one has mastered that, and there is a lot more to it than simply alleviating pain or curing an illness, the author moves on to the drugs applicable for the different systems of the body, e.g., the cardiovascular system, the digestive system, the reproductive system, etc. We also learn much about anti-cancer drugs. We learn how drugs are administered, what dosage is appropriate, and what to give when.

Even though there really is no way to make pharmacology simple (unless, of course, one compares it to cell biology), I believe this book does the best job possible. It is easy and very interesting to read, even if one isn't studying for an Advanced Biosciences degree as I am. All-in-all, I love this series of books, ridiculously simple or not. They make a great addition to my basic textbooks, and they do help to make clear the more ambiguous principles of clinical pharmacology. I highly recommend this book to anyone studying clinical pharmacology, and especially to anyone who is struggling with it.

GET. THIS. BOOK

GET. THIS. BOOK.... Especially if your pharm knowledge isn’t great or you need a refresher. Good breakdown of systems too to make you understand what you’re giving/taking. This needs to be mandatory in nursing undergrad programs

Excellent basic review of Pharmacology

Excellent basic review of Pharmacology! I was looking for a book to review basic pharmacology especially on medications I do not commonly use. I did not want to read the standard tome from medical school. I was pleasantly surprised by this book. Definitely covers the basics in a very simple style with nice tables and graphs. An easy read. Price made it a bargain. The knowledge invaluable.

Concise information, well written

Concise information, well written. I used this to study pharmacology in my APRN program. Better than the textbook that was required. I also purchased psychopharmacology and pathophysiology from their series and they are all well-written in a perfect style to study.
