This book is riddled with errors including; abbreviating the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act as HIPPA instead of HIPAA, referring to chapter 2 for information that is not there, and many others. This book is arranged in a very confusing manner making it difficult to find information. If at all possible, do not use this book and find another.
This book has numerous sentences that contradict previously presented information, and there are numerous grammatical errors. I question the accuracy of the information that comes from a book like this, and I worry about my education learning from a book like this. I wish I could get a full refund based on this information. I recommend that this book be avoided when choosing a book for a graduate level class...or any class for that matter. This is the third edition of this book. One would think that with all the reviewers and previous editions that this book would be a little bit more professional.
I have had worse and I have definitely had better. Contradicts self Chapter to chapter especially on antihypertensives. Brings up one topic then says "see chapter 17 and 33. It is heavy (too heavy to sit on your lap of to carry anything else with it heavy..., thickly impossible to flip pages ( own a dictionary this size and can flip through that!), redundancy is constant...Flip 300 pages to see that chapter...you find exactly what they just said. Use the index and see the list of 69 pages per topic. Tables and figures of prices and interactions and purpose are scattered and are found condensed and useful in other resource books. It's all in there, you just have to flip constantly to find WHERE they put it.They state they will use both generic and brand names but that occurs less than 24% of the time. They have entire paragraphs that discuss a drug and end the paragrapgh by stating the drug was pulled off the market years ago (a valuable waist of my time).They had a great idea that went way-way-way off track.Class Advanced practice tests are based on it about 50% of the time. 2 stars because the first 4 chapters are informative, after that the drug part is useless and thank GOD it possesses an index. Rent it, do not buy it new. There are just way better resources that I use daily for a quarter of the price. The last test I only used internet programs and an ANP pocket book and aced the test. What a waist of time and money. I never sell my books back because I have a resource library, this one will NOT be in it.
This is a required textbook for my FNP program. I personally find this textbook a bit disorganizezd. It is packed with a lot of information and you basically have to read the whole chapter to find out the names of the drugs for a particular disease. I will graduate in 6 months and really want to have a drug book that is easy to use and undertand and I ust purchased Rang and Dale's Pharmacology and I like the layout of this book. It is way more organized than our required textbook.
I would not recommend this text. First of all, the quality of the binding is poor and the book will soon begin to come apart on you. I also found the book difficult to use. The content isn't properly organized. Rather than concentrate the topics in one area they are scattered all over the book. You will find yourself going back and forth in it a lot to find things. If you just need a book to keep up with pharm I recommend getting something else.
This is the 2nd copy I've owned, the first fell apart.While the text has decent information, most of it is scattered in different places throughout. For example, metoprolol has over 10 citations in the index-in very different parts of the book. The chapters are only labeled at the beginning, which makes it difficult to navigate. Finally, some of the citations in the index are incorrect. I can't remember which drug I was looking up, but it had 1 citation, and when I went to that page, there was nothing to do with that drug, not even the same drug class.I would not be too excited about using this book again. It's hard enough material to learn without having to scramble through the book to hope you find the right information when you need it in a timely manner.
Well the book is the same text as if I would have bought the hardcover book. The only bad thing is... If you buy the kindle version you don't get the access code to do any of the extra online stuff. This is something not disclosed by . When I called I was informed that it has to say "access code included" I assumed because I was buying something that was the same as the hard copy the access code would be included the same as it is with the hard cover version. This was my mistake.
I have found this textbook hard to jump into and use when I want clarification on a lecture. It is the sole required textbook for the Advanced Pharmacotherapeutics class in my MSN program.I can never find treatment algorithms when I am looking for them, and even when I know the figure number because I saw it in a powerpoint, it takes me forever to find it in the book.I have also tried to use the index, and it appears to be a few pages off in parts. I will look up a drug and there will be absolutely no mention of it on the noted pages (in text, boxes, or charts). I search around a few pages before and after, and can find mention of the drug two pages earlier. It is just not organized for efficient, quick use. That is clearly not its only function, but a method I need when doing homework assignments and it has been continually frustrating for that purpose.
