Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Disappointing. Little content besides lists and lists
I was disappointed in the book I hoped to learned about the fundamentals of clincal pharmacology, but all I got was page after page of tables of drugs, mechanism of action, undesirable effects, etc. I could have gotten that from the PDR or the Merck Manual. I learned more of what I was after just by reading wikipedia (unfortunately, after I bought the book). It was more on clinical practice than how clinical pharmacology is used to study new compounds or drug interactions, etc.
Rating: - listing things in tabels does not make it ridiculosly simple!
The book list drugs in tabels with the occasional paragraph above it trying to explain something. There are practically NO memory aids like in the microbiology series which had pictures and mnemonics etc.. this book it tiny, over priced and a lot of medical school professors have warned against this book
Rating:  - This book is rediculous!
I ordered this book with hopes that it would help me with my pharmacology class. It does list some medications with some brand names. It does not address any information about the math, or dosing involved in pharmacology that a nurse or surgical technologist might have to work out during surgery or otherwise. I am really embarrassed about the amount of money I spent having this book expressed to me.
Rating:  - Great for review, bad for learning
While in school, I enjoyed the pictures and such. But found the book tough to learn from. Maybe I don't handle gigantic lists that well.
Now that I'm out practicing, I like the book alot as a quick reference/refresher.
Rating:  - Great pharm review book
Great charts and they group the meds together by class. They give you a quick patho review too. This book really helps with memorization and it really is simple.
