Editorial Review:The current science of pharmacology -- and its clinical applications -- at your fingertips A Doody's Core Title ESSENTIAL PURCHASE! 4 STAR DOODY'S REVIEW!
"This remains the gold standard of useable texts for teaching pharmacology to medical students. In my opinion, this is the best edition.... continue to use this book as a required resource for all courses that I teach to medical and allied health professions students....I also use this as the major resource for an elective offering in Advanced Pharmacology for third and fourth year medical students. This book continues to be the standard that all other pharmacology books attempt to emulate."--Doody's Review Service Now in its 25th year of publication, Basic and Clinical Pharmacology is the most up-to-date and complete pharmacology textbook available. Through nine previous editions it has set the standard for concise and easy-to-read, yet comprehensive coverage of pharmacology. The text's integration of basic with clinical science makes it well suited for an integrated organ-system-based curricula as well as the more traditional curricula. Features

In-depth coverage of key pharmacology topics, from basic principles to pharmacologic considerations for autonomic, cardiovascular-renal, smooth muscle, CNS, endocrine, antimicrobial, and chemotherapeutic and immunotherapeutic drugs

Updated with dozens of new, recently approved drugs, including monoclonal antibodies

Detailed review of the mechanism of action and toxicities of traditional and newer drugs

Critical discussions of treatment strategies and recommended drugs for all major diseases

Valuable section on toxicology that provides an introduction to occupational and environmental toxicology; heavy metal intoxication and chelators; and management of the poisoned patient

Ready-to-use, study-enhancing features, including special interest boxes, lists of common preparations, and dosage information

Unique evidence-based chapters on abused drugs; special aspects of perinatal, pediatric, and geriatric pharmacology; and over-the-counter drugs, herbal medications, and nutritional supplements

More than 500 concept-clarifying illustrations and tables throughout (20070223)

This book does actually help reinforce some of the key concepts that we learn in class as well as give a little more background on some agents. Well worth the money I spent.

- Exellent on the Kindle
Katzung's pharmaology is a perfect book for the Kindle. The diagrams come across perfectly on the greyscale screen (even on my 1st generation Kindle), and it is easily navigable from the table of contents.

Since Katzung is designed to be a quick reference text instead of a full, in-depth treatment of all of the pharmacology surrounding the drugs covered, I am especially grateful for the digital edition. With the Kindle reader for iPod Touch/iPhone, the PC reader, and the soon-to-be-released ... Read More

- GREAT for pharmacology courses
This is an excellent book to use in medical school pharmacology courses. It then continues to be a great resource afterward. The text is easy to read and understand. One note, is that this is available on-line now through many schools, so before you purchase this, be sure that you don't have access to a free copy.

- Great Book, Great Price

- History
I have owned every edition of this book (in English or Spanish) since my days of student to now, when I teach Pharmacology and I think it always has been terrific. I do wonder anyway: Is the spanish version ready? (carminepl@yahoo.com)
