Description and Table of Contents
Description
This is a study of clinical pharmacology, whose subject matter is in a constant state of flux due to variable drug usage in different institutions. The authors present material from the nucleus of their courses in a work designed to be used alongside larger and more detailed textbooks. This text covers drug action on various body systems: drug type; pharmacokinetics and legal and practical aspects of prescribing in a short section. It has been updated to take account of current therapeutic practice and also includes new material on anti-viral drugs including those for the treatment of AIDS. It is a companion volume to Rogers and Spector "Aids to Pharmacology".
