I'm a 2nd year med student and bought this book because my pharm lectures seemed pretty low yield and often confusing. I was looking for something that would present me with all the information I needed in a readily digestible form. This book is amazing. It has pretty much all the information that's essential to know, it's well organized, and it does all that in only a few pages per class. To top it off, it includes questions that test your comprehension at the end of the chapter with FULL explanations. Highly recommend.
This book has a wealth of review questions for going over the Pharmacology concepts. The questions were straightforward and the explanations included both reasons why the correct answer was correct and why the other options were incorrect.
It's covers everything you need to know in medical pharmacology in just enough detail, not too much or not too little. I would really love it if there were more than 10 questions at the end of each chapter!!!!!!!
Another great update of this long-running pharmacology review text. This new edition includes a number of recently developed drugs that may show up on examinations. The summary tables at the end of each chapter have been redone in full color and are a perfect way to review on the fly. The degree of detail strikes a good balance between other resources out there (i.e., Lippincott's flash cards = over-the-top; Lange flash cards = not enough). The practice questions at the end of each chapter and the 2 comprehensive exams are also helpful. This text is best as a companion to coursework, folks looking for a super-concise pharmacology cram tool should look elsewhere.
I'm missing pages 154-186! Chapters 16-19. Kinda odd. They haven't been removed. The book was brand new. They're just not in there. I'm not sure if this is every book or just mine, but be forewarned of the possibility. I'll contact the publisher and if I get a favorable solution I will upgrade my rating.
I would recommend this as a secondary resource to PharmCards. The presentation of information is too brief (duh, it's a review book) and in a strange order. Mostly, I just used the questions and practice exams to solidify knowledge gained from other sources.
This is a great book to go along with the Katzung, Masters, and Trevor Basic & Clinical Pharmacology (12th edition) book. It summarizes the chapters from the Pharmacology book and has questions that review each chapter. Our teacher uses this book as a source from some of our examination questions. Plus, it is a great review for the nurse practitioner examination.
I definitely love and use this book. After borrowing it from friends for months to review before exams, I finally bought my own copy and it has definitely been worth it. Whether you need it to help solidify your mental framework when learning about a grueling class of drugs that all sound the same or to do some last-minute study before a big exam, this is a great resource. (I shouldn't have to say this, but this is not a primary resource. Don't use this as your only pharmacology text, as I have seen some student try to do.)My only qualm, and the reason that I give it 4 stars rather than 5 is the fact that it does not have page numbers that line up with the print version. It is so much easier to study in groups when you can quickly back up your points with page references or use a well-drawn diagram to reinforce what you want to convey to your friends.Med school isn't cheap. There are a lot of books you could spend your little money on. This one, I think, is worth it.
