Principles of Pharmacology
About this book
Principles of Pharmacology reviews the fundamentals of pharmacology with a focus on the various body systems. Drug classifications, names, sources, and development serve as essential foundations. Furthermore, this volume uniquely discusses that understanding pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, pharmacogenomics, and drug toxicity is crucial before addressing medications, clinical indications, mechanisms of action, adverse effects, and contraindications. Readers will encounter clinical case studies at the end of each chapter, accompanied by questions that provide real-world scenarios. Helpful appendices address high-alert medications, dosage calculations, and answer keys.
