Pharmacology is
the study of interaction of drugs with living organisms. It also includes
history, source, physicochemical properties, dosage forms, methods of
administration, absorption, distribution mechanism of action, biotransformation,
excretion, clinical uses and adverse effects of drugs. This PDF covers the
following topics related to Pharmacology : General pharmacology, Drugs acting on
autonomic nervous system, Cardiovascular-renal drugs, Autacoids and their
antagonists, Drugs Action on the Respiratory System, Drugs used in
Gastrointestinal Diseases, Drugs used to treat the diseases of blood,
inflammation and gout, Drugs acting in the central nervous system, Endocrine
Drugs, Chemotherapeutic Agents, Toxicology, Prescription writing and rational
use of drugs.

Biopharmaceuticals are derived from biological sources,
either live organisms or their active components; nowadays, they are mainly
produced by biotechnologies. This book encompasses the discovery, production,
application, and regulation of biopharmaceuticals to demonstrate their research
achievement, prospects, and challenges.

book explains the following topics: Continental Medicine Chests, Treason, Poison
and Siege, , Privateers To The Rescue, Brisk Business In Boston, Valley Forge.
This book is a fruit
of a collaborative work from several international scientists. It will be a
useful resource for researchers, students, and clinicians. Each individual
chapter could serve as a prescribed reading for postgraduate students and
clinicians specializing in and practicing clinical pharmacology and toxicology,
pharmacotherapy and pharmacotherapeutics, pharmacovigilance, and toxicovigilance,
as well as those involved in clinical research, drug discovery, and
development.
This book introduces the
Standard Treatment Guidelines and Essential Medicines List for Hospital Level.
The chapters are arranged according to the organ systems of the body. Conditions
and medicines are cross referenced in two separate indexes of the book.

Pharmacology and Nutritional Intervention in the Treatment of Disease is
a book dealing with an important research field that has worldwide significance.
Its aim is to strengthen the research base of this field of investigation as it
yields knowledge that has important implications for biomedicine, public health
and biotechnology. The basic purpose of this book was to promote interaction and
discussion of problems of mutual interests among people in related fields
everywhere.
This note serves as a
description and critical assessment of the major issues and stages of developing
a pharmaceutical or biopharmaceutical. Topics covered include drug discovery,
preclinical development, clinical investigation, manufacturing and regulatory
issues considered for small and large molecules, and economic and financial
considerations of the drug development process.

The author does not
claim for the book that it is an exhaustive treatise on Pharmacology suitable
for advanced students of the subject, but that it may be found useful to the
ordinary medical students and also to the general practitioners who may use it
to review their medical school instruction. In this second edition the author
has attempted to incorporate all new facts in pharmacology or in pharmaco-therapy
which have been developed since the previous edition.
Pharmacology comprises some broad conceptions and
generalizations, and some detailed conclusions, of such great and practical importance that every
student and practitioner of medicine should be absolutely familiar with them. It
comprises also a large mass of minute details, idiich would constitute too great a tax on human memory, but which can not
safely be neglected. It is the ambition of this book to present both types of
information without confusion.
This
lecture note on pharmacology is primarily a note for undergraduate health
science students such as health officer, nursing, midwifery and laboratory
technology students. The chapters open with a list of objectives to guide the
reader, and most end with questions which challenge the reader’s understanding
of the concepts covered with in the chapter. Most sections have an introduction
that provides an overview of the material to be covered.
