Introduction to Pharmacology 11th ed.

The textbook is actually filthy. There was eraser debris between the pages. Dark highlighters were used, and some of the text is not legible. The book should have been cleaned before being sold to the public. Not satisfied.

Easy-to-Understand

This book contains information as well as worksheets with answer keys. Very user friendly for the first time pharmacology student.
