Applied Therapeutics: The Clinical Use of Drugs

All the contributors are leading clinicians with many years of evidence-based care. As students progress through the text, they will learn the basics of common diseases and disorders and develop practical problem-solving skills for devising and implementing successful drug treatment regimens.

Molecular Biopharmaceutics

This is an introductory textbook on molecular biopharmaceutics. Molecular biopharmaceutics involves the study of drug absorption, transport and delivery at the molecular level. In particular, increasing knowledge of the molecular structure and function of membrane transporter proteins and the understanding that they play a significant role in drug transport across biological membranes has lead to growing interest in this area from the pharmaceutical industry. This emerging knowledge of membrane transporter proteins has implications for understanding drug disposition and in turn for the development of more effective drug delivery strategies.
The proposed text will provide an overview of the field of molecular biopharmaceutics, and will explain its importance in drug development. It will focus on describing the interplay between the chemistry of drug molecules and membrane transporters, and will guide researchers in setting up experiments that may help in understanding the mechanisms and kinetics involved in drug absorption, transport and delivery.

Pharmacy Practice--Kevin Taylor & Geoffrey Harding

Today's pharmaceutical services are patient-oriented rather than drug-oriented. This shift towards patient-centred care comes at a time when healthcare is delivered by an integrated team of health workers. Effective Pharmacy practice requires an understanding of the social context within which pharmacy is practised, recognising the particular needs and circumstances of the users of pharmaceutical services and of pharmacy's place within health service provision. Designed for undergraduate and postgraduate pharmacists, Pharmacy Practice provides a background to the social context of pharmacy including:
* the development of pharmacy practice
* international dimensions of pharmacy practice
* health, illness, and medicines use
* professional practice
* meeting the pharmaceutical care needs of specific populations
* measuring and regulating medicines use
* research methods, evaluation, audit and clinical governance.
