Integrated pharmacology - Clive P Page

INTEGRATED PHARMACOLOGY, 2ND EDITION takes a unique approach to pharmacology, considering drugs in the context of the diseases they are used to treat -- all within a body system framework. Drug action is clearly explained at the molecular, cellular, tissue, and organ levels. The basic principles underlying pharmacology are presented, providing a strong foundation for the system-based chapters that follow. Each body system chapter addresses the common diseases affecting a system before comprehensively discussing the drug classes and specific drugs used to treat the diseases. A superb, full-color illustration program helps the reader understand the complex ways in which modern drugs are used to treat diseases.
