Basic & Clinical Pharmacology 13th Edition

Book is outstanding and the best on the market for medical training. Pharmacology Flashcards are not enough. You're setting yourself up for failure by just knowing what is printed on the Flashcards which I also own.Goodman & Gilman is more thorough but dated and too intense for the MD level. Katzung has great review of physiology of systems, application of drugs and well organized. Images, charts and graphs are very helpful.Get this book if you're training to be an MD

The book is very dry, but if you are interested in learning the material... you'll grab your caffeine and shut out the world. Sometimes difficult to follow, but the chapters aren't days long. I give it a five because I'm not out there reading other pharm textbooks to compare it, and it's getting its job done. So if you are required to read this for class, it'll do.

in good shape like brand new. thank you.

This book is not a difficult read if you already have solid knowledge of pathological physiology .It is not for plain pharmacology, it is for "clinical pharmacology", usually a more advanced course, for this reason it is not as dry and insipid as other books that list drugs 1 by 1,The book walks you through the interactions and physiology very well. and has lots of history, but it is all relevant.The book is a masterpiece and you cant read a single page without learning 10 new things.I read lots a bad reviews, this book is great, its not for the mediocre student.

This is an amazing reference book for both MDs as well as Pharm.Ds as it contains both diagnostic criteria AND current guidelines for treatment of diagnoses. I am using it to help me study for the BCPS as well as Lange's "Basic & Clinical Pharmacology Reference book. The two together are, in my opinion of greater help to the practicing professional than Goodman and Gilman or Therapeutics. Great layout, great page weight, clearly written with lots of diagrams for the visual learner. A great reference.

This book explains things in exactly the way I learn best, down to a molecular level. It explains where drugs bind on receptors and how they exert their clinical effects. Great review tool as I prepare for the NAPLEX.

We have free access to the book online through our school but I went ahead and bought it so I can highlight and mark up important parts. There are chapter summaries in the hard copy book that I have not seen online, and they are amazing for bringing the whole chapter together!

What a great book. Revisits the Physiology beautifully as an introduction to truly understanding the MOA of the drugs. Easy to understand and absolutely helpful.Delivered in great shape and on time too (even though it took a couple days).
