- The depth, breadth, and approach are tailored to the needs of pharmacy and health care students preparing for real life practice
- A unique patient-centred approach teaches the pharmacological basis of therapeutics in the context of individual patients and their experience of illness
- Novel 'Workbooks' provide a powerful vehicle for integrating an understanding of the science of drug action at the cellular and molecular level with the therapeutic response in individual patients
New to this Edition:
- A new chapter - Drug addiction and recreational drugs - describes the mechanisms of drug addition, the pharmacological and behavioural properties of various recreational drugs, and the therapeutics used in the treatment of addiction. A new Workbook at the end of the chapter explores these concepts in the context of an individual patient.
- A new 'Key terms' feature at the start of every chapter provides on-the-page explanations of terms you may not be familiar with, helping you get to grips with important terminology.

Description
Pharmacology for Pharmacy and the Health Sciences introduces pharmacology in a way that is tailored to the needs of pharmacy and health care students. It provides an understanding of drug action at the cellular and molecular level, which is interfaced seamlessly with an explanation of the clinical use of drugs to treat common conditions.
Taking a novel patient-centred approach, the book features a series of embedded workbooks which explore clinical topics in the context of individual patients and their experience of illness, and so relate the scientific basis of pharmacology to real-life pharmacy practice. The workbooks help you to interpret presenting symptoms, hospital clinical clerking, and patient history notes, and to understand the therapeutic strategy and clinical outcome, all within a simple reader-friendly format.
Pharmacology for Pharmacy and the Health Sciences is the perfect course companion for anyone needing to develop a solid understanding of pharmacology and its impact on pharmacy and clinical practice.
