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.

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.
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
it is the number of drugs in a particular class that students find overwhelming.
This fear causes many students to lose focus on the most important part of
pharmacology—the concepts.
This
book explains the following topics: Continental Medicine Chests, Treason, Poison
and Siege, , Privateers To The Rescue, Brisk Business In Boston, Valley Forge.
This book presents some in-depth
reviews of selected topics in drug metabolism. Topics covered includes: Oral
Absorption, Intestinal Metabolism and Human Oral Bioavailability,
Pharmacogenetics and Metabolism, Altered Drug Metabolism and Transport in
Pathophysiological Conditions, Anticancer Drug Metabolism: Chemotherapy
Resistance and New Therapeutic Approaches, Transcription Factors Potentially
Involved in Regulation of Cytochrome P450 Gene Expression, Electrochemical
Methods for the In Vitro Assessment of Drug Metabolism, Pharmacogenomic
Technology for Personalized Medicine.
This book presents Pharmacogenetic examples from a broad spectrum of
different drugs, for different diseases, which are representative of different
stages of evaluation or application. It has been designed so as to serve both
the unfamiliar reader through explanations of basic Pharmacogenetic concepts,
the clinician with presentation of the latest developments and international
guidelines, and the research scientist with examples of Pharmacogenetic
applications, discussions on the limitations and an outlook on the new
scientific trends in this field.
This
contribution book collects reviews and original articles from eminent experts
working in the interdisciplinary arena of novel drug delivery systems and their
uses. Topics covered includes: Hot-Melt Extrusion, Development and Investigation
of Dry Powder Inhalers for Cystic Fibrosis, The Role of Carrier in Dry Powder
Inhaler, Nanotechnology in Drug Delivery, Lipid Nanoparticulate Drug Delivery
Systems, Niosomes as Carrier in Dermal Drug Delivery, Magnetic Nanoparticles,
Targeted Nanoparticles for Cancer Therapy, Amphiphilic Cyclodextrins, Synthesis,
Utilities and Application of Molecular Modeling in Their Design, Nanoparticles
Toxicity and Their Routes of Exposures.
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.

The intent of this book is to provide an overview of current
conceptualizations of Pharmacotherapy. The book focuses on three major areas;
diagnosis, treatment, and prevention for a wide array of diseases; Cognitive and
Psychological disorders (Schizophrenia and Nicotine addiction), Inflammatory
disorders (New Chemical anti-inflammatory and Immunotherapy), updated
antihypertensive therapy and healing of ulcers with venous origin.
This note provides the details about drugs and over-the-counter
medicines. This includes side effects, dosage, and special precautions. Also
contains the details about dietary supplements and herbal remedies to learn about their
effectiveness, usual dosage, and drug interactions.
