Basic Concepts in Pharmacology: What You Need to Know for Each Drug
Class is not a conventional review book for pharmacology. It is a book to help
you organize your attack on the hundreds of drugs covered in pharmacology
classes today. Our survey for the first edition of this book made it clear that
