Description
FASTtrack: Pharmacology is a revision guide that provides a brief account of drug action. The authors have taken a therapeutic area and considered the major classes of drugs, their actions and, to a limited degree, their uses.
New in this edition:
- Each chapter completely updated to take account of recent changes, and include future drugs
- Multiple choice tests
- New chapters on immunopharmacology, oral contraceptives and local anaesthetics
- Greater use of summary tables.
This study guide deals with molecular pharmacology at a more advanced level, so that the book is also useful for advanced pharmacology studied in the later years of pharmacy and science degrees.
