Essential Pharmacology and Pathophysiology by Sylvia Prosser

After the initial introductory chapters, the text is categorised into the systems of the body, with each chapter focusing on the major diseases affecting that particular system and the appropriate drug therapy for each of the conditions included. To illustrate the concept, a student wishing to determine the appropriate drug therapy for myocardical infarction would look up this condition in the cardiovascular system chapter. This would provide a detailed account of common drugs prescribed and their dosage, an explanation of how the individual drugs work in terms of the pathophysiology of the disease and a discussion of the side effects and complications of the various forms of drug therapy. Each chapter also provides information on age related variations where relevant, and the variations this may produce in drug therapy and dosage. Features: * Unique and innovative organisational structure * Student-friendly * Advanced pedagogy: * Learning outcomes at beginning of each chapter * Person-Centred Studies * Boxed information - Children, Elderly, Warning & Summary * Bulleted key points for each chapter * Multiple-choice review questions
