Basic Concepts in Pharmacology: What You Need to Know for Each Drug
Class is not a conventional review book for pharmacology. It is a book to help

classes today. Our survey for the first edition of this book made it clear that
it is the number of drugs in a particular class that students find overwhelming.
This fear causes many students to lose focus on the most important part of
pharmacology—the concepts.

Pharmacology
is a broad discipline encompassing every aspect of the study of drugs, including

medicines work in the body and how this information guides the hunt for drugs of
the future.
