Pharmacology Condensed: With STUDENT CONSULT Online Access

By Dennis G. Haylett, Maureen M. Dale, Dennis G. Haylett BSc PhD, et al.

Pharmacology Condensed, a companion volume to Rang et al's Pharmacology, sets out to provide the reader with the quintessence of pharmacology, delineating, in text and summary diagrams, the key points of the information which will be needed later in professional life. It will help reinforce the facts and concepts in pharmacology that are essential in appreciating how drugs work and their underlying pathophysiological processes. Each of the 49 short chapters adopts a standard approach and the book includes many illustrations specially designed to summarise textual material. Within each chapter, several drugs may be mentioned but only the most important drugs from each group are set out in bold type. Readers using this book will gain a fuller understanding of the essential aspects of pharmacology. It will also be of considerable help in preparing for examinations. This book is best used with Rang et al. but could also be used in conjunction with another pharmacology textbook.Complements the main textbook, Rang and Dale: Pharmacology 5e

Customer Reviews

Great illustrations, very accessible

I teach allied health pharmacology and struggle to find a textbook that isn't too long for a one quarter class, that isn't too full of medical terminology that is incomprehensible to a student without a medical school education, and yet that has beautiful illustrations and diagrams of where and how drugs act in the body. This book succeeds where others fail. I use it to supplement my lectures. I love the illustrations, the text that cuts to the essentials, and the short length (my students might actually read it!) Although it was written to accompany the textbook, IMHO it stands alone for a one quarter or one semester pharmacology text that anyone can read, covering just the basic essentials.

Excelent

Good for who want to learn pharmacology simple and fast. Small book with everything that is essencial.
