- Surprisingly... Fantastic
I have to admit, I picked this book up early and then didn't use it all year - I was skeptical. It really isn't very thick, seems almost superficial at times, almost never gives the full physiological picture like our full class did, and brushes over some seemingly important topics. So... all year I didn't read it, and overall did very average on all exams. I ended up using this for the final as I didn't think there was any other source I could get through in time. It turned out this little book ... Read More

- Excellent!
I highly recommend this book for anyone studying for boards (I am currently studying for optometry boards). I will continue to carry it with me long after I have completed my exams. I will be sure to pick up Edition 3 if such a thing is in the works. It is presented in a way that just seems to make sense to me. I recommend this to anyone having difficulty in a pharmacology course. I have many other medical and reference texts, but when it comes to pharmacology this book seems to simplify the ... Read More

- Great book for Med school
I think this book is really going to help me out on the boards. Heard it about it from a friend.

- Above average
This book rocks out. Pharm was my weakest subject going into the shelf exams and I wasn't sure of how to study for it. An older classmate told me to read this book. I read the book cover-to-cover then reviewed it as much as possible within three days and took my test. My raw score was a 100 points ahead of the class average! I am usually a little (i.e. a few points) ahead of the class average but this was unreal. When all was said and done I got a 93% on my Pharm-shelf. Besides Micro, it turned ... Read More

- Not for USMLE Step 1!
'Pharmacology for the Boards and Wards' has one big problem - it couldn't decide, what should it be - more basic or more clinical. I guess it's more useful for wards than for boards.
This book isn't very high yield for USMLE step 1 - it lacks important details on mechanisms of action (basic pharmacology), which is heavily tested on step 1 - for example, it doesn't mention that thiazolidinediones bind to the PPAR-gamma (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma); USMLE step 1 will not be satisfied ...
