This
lecture note on pharmacology is primarily a note for undergraduate health
science students such as health officer, nursing, midwifery and laboratory
technology students. The chapters open with a list of objectives to guide the
reader, and most end with questions which challenge the reader’s understanding
of the concepts covered with in the chapter. Most sections have an introduction
that provides an overview of the material to be covered.

This book is a fruit
of a collaborative work from several international scientists. It will be a
useful resource for researchers, students, and clinicians. Each individual
chapter could serve as a prescribed reading for postgraduate students and
clinicians specializing in and practicing clinical pharmacology and toxicology,
pharmacotherapy and pharmacotherapeutics, pharmacovigilance, and toxicovigilance,
as well as those involved in clinical research, drug discovery, and
development.
This guide is a list of antibiotics. The
highest division is between antibiotics is bacteriostatic and bactericidal.
Bactericidals kill bacteria directly, whereas bacteriostatics prevent them from
dividing.

Pharmacology comprises some broad conceptions and
generalizations, and some detailed conclusions, of such great and practical importance that every
student and practitioner of medicine should be absolutely familiar with them. It
comprises also a large mass of minute details, idiich would constitute too great a tax on human memory, but which can not
safely be neglected. It is the ambition of this book to present both types of
information without confusion.
This note provides the details about drugs and over-the-counter
medicines. This includes side effects, dosage, and special precautions. Also
