Pharmacology Ise (5th e. revised international e.)

This textbook for medical and science students emphasises the mechanisms by which drugs act and relates these to the overall pharmacological effects and clinical uses.

In doing so it sets out for the reader a clear route from a molecular understanding of receptors and drug actions, to the therapeutic uses of the most important groups of drugs. For the 5th edition the book is presented in full colour with a new page format and design.

The text has been fully updated, incorporating significant new information published in the last few years while dated or obsolete material has been removed.

New agents are fully discussed as well as extensions of basic knowledge which presage further drug development.
