By Shiv Dutt

Clinical Management of Pain: Opioids, NSAIDs, and Beyond provides a comprehensive overview of the pharmacological approaches to pain, inflammation, rheumatoid arthritis, and gout. This book focuses on assessment, classification, and evidence-based management strategies - emphasizing the clinical relevance of each drug class.
