What you’ll find inside
Basic & Clinical Pharmacology, Fourteenth Edition, edited by Bertram G. Katzung, is a broad pharmacology text for students in medicine, pharmacy, nursing, dentistry and other health-science programs. The edition organizes drug science around major principles and therapeutic groupings, linking how medicines act with how they are selected and monitored in clinical contexts. Its chapter sequence and reference features make it suitable both for planned coursework and for returning to a specific class of drugs during study.
Core principles and drug groups
The opening material introduces drug development and regulation, receptors and pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, drug biotransformation and pharmacogenomics. Later sections move through autonomic drugs, cardiovascular and renal agents, drugs affecting smooth muscle, central nervous system pharmacology, endocrine and metabolic topics, inflammation, chemotherapeutic agents, and additional clinical-use areas. Chapters include topics such as rational prescribing and important drug interactions. The contents also show the breadth of contributors who address particular areas of pharmacology.
Study features and intended readers
The publisher describes the fourteenth edition as a full-color textbook with illustrations, summary tables, diagrams and case studies in many chapters. These tools can help a reader connect a drug’s mechanisms and uses with a clinical problem and review key distinctions after studying the detailed material. The text is designed for health-science learners and can also serve as a reference for clinicians reviewing foundational pharmacology. It does not replace current prescribing information, institutional guidance or clinical judgment.

Grabbed this for a psychopharmacology class and price was much cheaper than original price (which I love – try to save coins where I can)!

分厚く読むのは難しいです。悪戦苦闘しています。 包装はきれいな状態で届いたので，高かったけれどの日本支部に保管しているものを注文してよかったです。

This ebook needs a alpha list of all the abbreviations used, so that if you don’t start at the beginning where abbreviation are defined you can know what they are talking about.

Bin Assistenzarzt im 2. Jahr mit besonderem Interesse an Pharmakologie. Halte das Buch für spannend geschrieben, sehr praxisnah und gut verständlich. Trotz der Fülle an Informationen bleibt bereits beim Durchlesen viel hängen – gewisse Basiskenntnisse sind sicherlich hilfreich, ansonsten könnte man doch etwas überfordert sein. Meiner Meinung nach ein Must-have für angehende Internisten, Anästhesisten, Intensivmediziner, Psychiater und Forscher. Für Medizinstudenten wohl eher zu ausführlich, für solche ohne besonderes Interesse an Pharma gibt’s aber noch die ‘Examination and Board Review’ Ausgabe.

Concise to the point and easy to read

Este manual de farmacología no es el más extenso disponible comercialmente, pero es muy bueno. En tiempos de estudiante, ya lo conocí en su traducción al español, y lamentablemente, al repasarlo ahora, es de reconocer que en las materias básicas que sustentan la Medicina, los textos españoles siguen siendo muy inferiores y anticuados en su concepción, no así los plenamente prácticos, seguramente porque para la práctica no hacen falta laboratorios, solo experiencia.

Easy to digest information in almost a lecture-like tone, but so very boring to slog through.
