Pharmacology Review - A Comprehensive Reference Guide for Medical, Nursing, and Paramedic Students

Love the book very informal

The book along with the workbook have been one of the best resources that I am using for my Medical Coding and billing career.

I always thought I could never understand pharmacology, so going through my Acupuncture school, I got though my pharmacology courses by rote memorization and pure luck. Then, in practice, I realize that I do have to understand pharmacology, what with the high use of medication in patients' daily routine. So I was looking for a hood, concised, simple to understand pharmacology review that I can do a quick study/review on my own time. Thankfully, I found the right book. This book is everything I've been looking for and amazingly simple to understand. I love the review questions at the end of each chapter. I wish I had found this book while in school, but for $20, it's really help me understand why my patients are taking certain drugs. It also helps me understand the western deconstruction of the Chinese medicinal herbs. I wish they'd come out with a pharmacy review just for Chinese medicinal herbs and potential contraindications, just for acupuncturists and herbalists. The current available herbal medicine textbooks just pretty much list the herbs and note western research on it, but not much of an explanation. With age, I find that I can no longer just do rote memorization, so understanding the basics really helps me to remember and apply concepts. I use this book in my clinic concurrently with a textbook on Chinese medicinal herbs pharmacological concepts to help me understand. And for that, I give it the five stars it deserves.

This product is good bc it covers the stuff you need to know without the excess information. Anyone in any professional school or out of school and needs to brush up on concepts, this is a good resource to go too!

This book is a must have as a student going to school as a CMA.

organized by system and has index at the end so u can lookup any drug. I like it

Best book for pharmacology!!!!!

Good quick review to be able to complete in a few short days, doesn't go very deep with each chapter fairly short and sweet. There are a lot of typos throughout the book, and some of the quiz questions don't align with what is presented in the text.
