Includes index
Brenner and Stevens (pharmacology, Oklahoma State U.) provide students with an introductory textbook detailing essential concepts and information related to pharmacology. They emphasize the general properties of drug categories and prototypical drugs, and for various body systems, present information on mechanisms of action, physiologic effects, pharmacokinetic properties, adverse effects and interactions, and clinical uses for each drug category. Introductory chapters cover pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and drug development and safety. This edition has revised chapters to incorporate new drugs and categories, updated findings on the mechanisms of action and therapeutic use, and notes on approved drugs taken off the market, as well as revised warnings for existing drugs added to prescription guidelines. The full text, US Medical Licensing Examination-style questions, additional case studies, a glossary, animations, chapter summaries, and a list of featured drugs are provided online.
