good book.

this is the first edition. It does have different with the 2nd ed. but the basic concept is the same. and it is muuuuuch cheaper than 2nd ed.

Strong Overview

As a paramedic student taking an intro pharmacology course on the side, I found this text to be quite applicable. The overview of conditions prior to the explaination of current drug therapy provides a suffient reference for the reader to understand the basics of why certain pharmacological therapies are used. In addition, the CD animations provide a useful graphical description of specific drug mechanisms. I found this book to be a great overview and introduction to the subject.
