Adapted for the U.S., this new edition of "Pharmacology", a popular UK text, describes what drugs do and emphasizes the mechanisms by which they act. The U.S. edition is revised and updated to reflect the substantial differences in drug names, FDA approvals, terminology, and guidelines for use. It also boasts new and revised chapters to ensure that students are up to date on the very latest information. Many chapters have brief summaries of relevant physiological and biomechanical processes at the beginning to form a basis for subsequent treatment of pharmacological actions. Key Points boxes are included in each chapter highlighting all the main facts and ideas. Clinical Application summary boxes throughout the text reflect the book's increased emphasis on aspects of clinical pharmacology and the clinical use of drugs
