Pharmacology--Gary C. Rosenfeld; David S. Loose
This concise review of medical pharmacology is designed for medical students, dental students, and others in the health care professions. It is intended primarily to help students prepare for licensing examinations such as the USMLE Step 1 or similar examinations. Each chapter presents specific drugs and discusses their general properties, mechanism of action, pharmacologic effects, therapeutic uses, and adverse effects. Drug lists and two-color tables and figures summarize essential drug information in all chapters. Clinically oriented USMLE-style review questions and answers with explanations follow each chapter. A comprehensive examination consisting of USMLE-style questions appears at the end of the book.

RANG and DALE,PHARMACOLOGY.6th Edition
Description
A straightforward way to master a complex subject! This bestselling textbook presents all the knowledge you need to get through your pharmacology course and beyond—using a clear and accessible approach that makes the material easy and interesting to learn. Progressing logically from a molecular understanding of receptors and drug actions to the clinical uses of the most important groups of drugs, it delivers the latest information on cannabinoids and rimonabant, Cox 2 inhibitors, pharmacogenetics, biopharmaceuticals, and drug abuse—as well as "lifestyle drugs" such as performance-enhancing substances, botulinum toxin, and Viagra®. And now, online access via STUDENT CONSULT makes it an even more effective learning resource!
Reviews
"This textbook nimbly covers a wide, complex subject without dumbing it down… It’s easy to read (in bite sized chunks) and the liberal use of colour, and high quality paper, add a feel-good factor."
BMA Awards 2007
"An excellent and comprehensive book about most aspects of pharmacology. The best thing is that it doesn’t go too deep into details; it gives you just enough information on a basic level, that you actually remember what you just read...A book you can use throughout the whole course. Online supplementary material is available, and is great to use if you don’t want to carry the book around all day"
Medical Student, University of Oslo, Norway
"Boxes with key points and clinical applications are great-this is where you look while revising, and shows you as well what is really important in the accompanying text.You never get lost. It is written for the student!"
Medical Student, Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic
"...a necessity amongst medical students...your go to pharmacology book"
Medical Student, Keele University, UK
Here is the 6th edition of this popular textbook which has undergone extensive updating. Presentation is impeccable with good use being made of colour and different fonts. Tables and diagrams are clear. For student pharmacists, pharmacologists, medical students and in fact anyone requiring detailed knowledge of the subject, this book is the business. And reviewers at one of the UK’s most popular online book retailers almost all agree!

Basic and Clinical Pharmacology 10th Edition,Bertram G.KATZUNG
This book is designed to provide a complete, authoritative, current, and readable pharmacology textbook for students in the health sciences. It also offers special features that make it useful to house officers and practicing clinicians.
Information is organized according to the sequence used in many pharmacology courses and in integrated organ system curricula: basic principles; autonomic drugs; cardiovascular-renal drugs; drugs with important actions on smooth muscle; central nervous system drugs; drugs used to treat inflammation, gout, and diseases of the blood; endocrine drugs; chemotherapeutic drugs; toxicology; and special topics. This sequence builds new information on a foundation of information already assimilated. For example, early presentation of autonomic pharmacology allows students to integrate the physiology and neuroscience they know with the pharmacology they are learning and prepares them to understand the autonomic effects of other drugs. This is especially important for the cardiovascular and central nervous system drug groups. However, chapters can be used equally well in courses and curricula that present these topics in a different sequence.
Within each chapter, emphasis is placed on discussion of drug groups and prototypes rather than offering repetitive detail about individual drugs. Selection of the subject matter and the order of its presentation are based on the accumulated experience of teaching this material to thousands of medical, pharmacy, dental, podiatry, nursing, and other health science students.
Major features that make this book especially useful to professional students include sections that specifically address the clinical choice and use of drugs in patients and the monitoring of their effects—in other words, clinical pharmacology is an integral part of this text. Lists of the commercial preparations available, including trade and generic names and dosage formulations, are provided at the end of each chapter for easy reference by the house officer or practitioner writing a chart order or prescription.

TEXTBOOK OF RECEPTOR PHARMACOLOGY (Second Edition)
The second edition now concentrates on cell membrane
receptors themselves, together with their immediate signal transducers: ion channels, heterotrimeric
G-proteins, and tyrosine kinases.
The writers of the chapters in this book have been actively involved in teaching the various
courses, and our joint aim has been to provide a logical introduction to the study of drug receptors.
Characterization of drug receptors involves a number of different approaches: quantitative description
of the functional studies with agonists and antagonists, quantitative description of the binding
of ligands to receptors, the molecular structure of drug receptors, and the elements that transduce
the signal from the activated receptor to the intracellular compartment.
The book is intended as an introductory text on receptor pharmacology but further reading has
been provided for those who want to follow up on topics. Some problems are also provided for
readers to test their grasp of material in some of the chapters.

Pharmacology--Principles and Practice
This unique and much needed textbook meets the rapidly emerging needs of programs training pharmacologic scientists seeking careers in basic research and drug discovery rather than such applied fields as pharmacy and medicine. While the market is crowded with many clinical and therapeutic pharmacology textbooks, the field of pharmacology is booming with the prospects of discovering new drugs, and virtually no extant textbook meets this need at the student level. The market is so bereft of such approaches that many pharmaceutical companies will adopt Hacker, et al. to help train new drug researchers.The boom in pharmacology is driven by the recent decryption of the human genome and enormous progress in controlling genes and synthesizing proteins, making new and even custom drug design possible. This book makes use of these discoveries in presenting its topics, moving logically from drug receptors to the target molecules drug researchers seek, covering such modern topics along the way as side effects, drug resistance, Pharmacogenomics, and even nutriceuticals, one in a string of culminating chapters on the drug discovery process.
*Uses individual drugs to explain molecular actions
*Full color art program explains molecular and chemical concepts graphically
*Logical structure reflecting the current state of pharmacology and translational research, starting with receptors and finishing with target molecules
*Covers such intricacies as drug resistance and cell death
*Consistent format across chapters and pedagogical strategies make this textbook a superior learning tool.
