This book now slightly outdated, has two very valuable features. First it is very thorough. Practically every drug and its therapeutic application is discussed. Second the discussion is not just a factual presentation in the PDR sense but an attempted detailed clinical evaluation. Specific patient scenerio's are portrayed with various choices, considerations and outcomes. The patient Rx question is reviewed as if the particular patient is before you and you are on the phone with the pharmacy consult. I find it very useful to gain a picture of a careful, slow and detailed evaluation of proper patient Rx practices. This is not written as a quick reference guide, it is a course in itself on clinical Rx methods and approaches. It is a wonderful book to add to your library. I have no doubt that it's approach will provide better patient care. What it needs is an on-line update feature.Kenneth Ellmanemail:ke@kennethellman.com
This is a very thorough and clinically-based book on pharmacology. The question and answer format goes directly to the heart of medication problems seen in a medical practice. Sections follow disease processes well and are indexed well. I wish this book had been available in medical school. It is very detailed for all levels, yet presents information is a succinct, readable format. This is not a PDR; it is a clinical text with immediate practical advice. If you read the sections on acne and hypertension you will realize this is not your usual general pharmacology text. The fine details of treatment are all there
The best book anywhere on the subject of applied therapeutics. The format is easy to follow, a series of logical questions and answer leading to intelligent therapeutic conclusions. Each section is written by a leading expert in their field.
Excellent book! It is as equally as informative as Dipiro's Pharmacotherapy. The difference is that Koda-Kimble is case-based which can be very helpful applying it clinically. Highly recommended for pharmacy students.
Applied Therapeutics is a very detailed, thorough, and informative compilation of assorted health care matters.The text is easy to read and the numerous sample cases studies in each chapter ensures that the reader fully understands and is able to apply the information presented. It is also an excellent method to reinforce the enormous amount of information health care providers are presented with in daily practice.The free CD-ROM (which you must request on their website with a coupon code attached in the back of the book) is a very portable version of this hefty textbook.A word of caution: This is defintely not an "introductory" book. A little working knowledge of biology, pharmacology, and disease states is a must.Overall, awesome textbook for interning students.
I can understand how this reference book may seem overwhelming for a pharmacy student. It has a lot of information! But believe me now that I am a practicing pharmacist this book is my #1 source of clincal information. I have the DiPiro book but did not like the layout as much. When you are in a hospital setting, most of your questions from residents, fellows or attendings will be case-based related. And the Koda-Kimble reference is outlined as such. It's a great reference, just wish it comes in a more practical size so I can take it to work with me :)
Super explanatory and has great tables and case studies throughout the chapters. Really puts things into perspective! The case studies are used to introduce new topics and helps you understand those topics by working through the case. Great for gaining understanding of application.
This is a cool textbook in that it teaches by case studies, which tend to stick in my mind better. However, I didn't think it was a great reference book to have handy in the office as it is case study after case study. When I look up a med at the office, I want the down and dirty facts at my fingertips, not a story about "Mrs. X who takes this medication"...
