Preface

Pharmacology, the study of the effects of drugs on the body, is one of the most important disciplines that must be mastered to be successful in the practice of medicine or the biomedical sciences. The prevention or treatment of almost every disease involves the use of drugs. Furthermore, many patients seek medical help as a result of drug side effects or toxicities.

PharmacologyAn Illustrated Review covers the facts of pharmacology and integrates the concepts that you must master for success in the classroom and for the USMLE. It provides a concise study aid for pharmacology courses. It can also be used as a succinct source of key knowledge for daily clinical practice.

This book is in a streamlined bullet-point format and includes hundreds of full-color illustrations that demonstrate pharmacological processes and modes of action. For each pharmaceutical agent or group of agents, mechanisms of action, pharmacokinetics, uses, contraindications, and side effects are discussed.

Sidebars connect pharmacological concepts in the text with normal function (orange), fundamental biochemical, genetic, and embryologic processes (green), and disease and treatment (blue).

For self-testing, the text includes both factual and USMLE-style questions. All of the questions are accompanied by explanatory answers. The 200 questions and answers in the text are supplemented by an additional 200 questions and answers online at WinkingSkull. com via the scratch-off code in the book. The questions provide intensive practice, offer immediate feedback, and allow you to quickly identify areas for further study. I tell the students in my pharmacology courses that if they can answer the questions in this book and online correctly, they will have no problem with the pharmacology portions of the licensing exams.
