Pharmacology Review - A Comprehensive Reference Guide for Medical, Nursing, and Paramedic Students

The headline say it all. It has filled in quite a few gaps in my understanding or completed and cleared up some miss understandings. A great review resource.

Hi!I am really very happy that I found this book. Well done! It's simple to understand to read. At the end of every chapter there is also the test so you could control if you understood well the subject. In this book you could find all information that you need for studying farmacology. Thank you a lot!

Love this book! Each chapter has a qizz at the end so you can ensure you got what was important in each chapter!

Nice and simple cover with a short sentence below summarising the book. I really like how the cover feels and is a great size - not too big or small. There's a contents table at the beginning of this book, which is always very useful so we can easily navigate through the book. I also really like the short quizzes at the end of each chapter and think it's a great way to test my knowledge and understanding. Overall, a great layout and a great book for medical students as it highlights the importance of each drug and also explains how they work inside the human body. It is also very easy to read and understand due to the division of units based on each system of the body.

I always thought I could never understand pharmacology, so going through my Acupuncture school, I got though my pharmacology courses by rote memorization and pure luck. Then, in practice, I realize that I do have to understand pharmacology, what with the high use of medication in patients' daily routine. So I was looking for a hood, concised, simple to understand pharmacology review that I can do a quick study/review on my own time. Thankfully, I found the right book. This book is everything I've been looking for and amazingly simple to understand. I love the review questions at the end of each chapter. I wish I had found this book while in school, but for $20, it's really help me understand why my patients are taking certain drugs. It also helps me understand the western deconstruction of the Chinese medicinal herbs. I wish they'd come out with a pharmacy review just for Chinese medicinal herbs and potential contraindications, just for acupuncturists and herbalists. The current available herbal medicine textbooks just pretty much list the herbs and note western research on it, but not much of an explanation. With age, I find that I can no longer just do rote memorization, so understanding the basics really helps me to remember and apply concepts. I use this book in my clinic concurrently with a textbook on Chinese medicinal herbs pharmacological concepts to help me understand. And for that, I give it the five stars it deserves.
