I have taught Medical Pharmacology for 25 years and I hate pharmacology textbooks. In general they give lists of drugs with poor explanations of how drugs act in the human body. To supplement these poor descriptions they add miserable graphs and tables. The underlying basic science of drug action is often left to the reader to find elsewhere. I usually go to a physiology textbook to find the needed physiology, a biochemistry textbook to find the needed biochemistry, or a neurobiology book for the needed neurobiology. I do realize the difficulty in writing a textbook for this subject. Pharmacology is a collection of basic sciences. So how does one put a book together that gives the needed basic science background, the principles of drug action, and keep the book shorter than a Tolstoy novel? Purchase Golan's Principles of Drug Action and find out! This textbook is what I have wanted for many years. The reader is given concise descriptions of the relevant background for understanding the action of the differing groups of drugs. This book is just what a medical student really needs. I now have a textbook that I can heartily recommend to my students. Congratulations and many thanks to the authors of this fine resource!
This book is a beacon for anyone studying pharmacology, biochemistry, or biomedical research. Contents are well organized and comprehensive. Excellent writing, unequivocal and clear; even people with basic college knowledge in biological sciences or chemistry can understand it. I strongly recommend this book as the "bible" for pharmacology. Several useful charts are given at the end of each chapter to illustrate all the pharmaceutical compounds, targets, and mechanism of actions; as well as their adverse effects. Moreover, it has excellent figures that make the reading bearable and graspable.
I was confused about which text book to buy of pharmacology , my tutors suggest other textbooks while they use this one to make lecture notes and presentation . Definitely this is a powerful rich source .
I bought this the same time as Rang & Dales Pharmacology text. I found the Rang & Dales book much better written and engaging when it came to explaining concepts and to giving context for said concepts. I bought the book because one reviewer of it said that there are no other pharmacology texts that provide good scientific support and background for the material presented, and that was important to me. However, I don't feel that this book is any more scientifically sound or complete than the Rang & Dale text. (My background is mostly organic chem.)
Has charts at the end of each chapter summarizing the drugs discussed, which are a great reference/study tool. [I scan/print the charts before reading the chapter and add notes as I see fit -- super helpful]
I would recommend this product. The book is educaitonal, but it is large. This book provides great review and information that is only a neccessity to medical practice.There is also easy access to all the information with coded indexes available within the book. It has helped me with my education greatly.
Superb writing: engaging but rigorous. Methodically laid out with normal physiology first to create the context for both the pathophysiology and treatment. Only complaint in the tables at the end of chapters are blurry in the Kindle version--hope this will be resolved.
didn't like a thing about this book, thought it was poorly laid out and hard to follow as you had to read in between a lot of useless knowledge for a med student but it might be suitable for a PhD student. I actually bought the lipincott pharm book to replace this book a few weeks later.
