Professional Review:

The current science of pharmacology-and its clinical applications-at your fingertips

. .

Now in its 25th year of publication, Basic and Clinical Pharmacology is the most up-to-date and complete pharmacology textbook available. Through nine previous editions it has set the standard for concise and easy-to-read, yet comprehensive coverage of pharmacology. The text's integration of basic with clinical science makes it well suited for an integrated organ-system-based curricula as well as the more traditional curricula.

       Summary: Basic and Clinical Pharmacology
    Easy to read. Informative. I recommend it as an introductory book.

     Rating 4   Written on January 18, 2007
       Summary: B&C Pharmacology
    I find this text to be very manageable and informative. It approaches pharmacology from it's essential building blocks through a more complex approach.

       Summary: Best ever
    this is a very good book. my sister who is a doctor recommended it to us.

     Rating 2   Written on September 14, 2006
       Summary: Not Awful, Not Great
    There are many good things to say about this text. It is through, has great cross-references, and is relatively cheap. Sadly, however, that is pretty much where the positive ends and the negative begins.

    As has been said before, the orgainzation is pretty terrible. No one section fully covers all they want to say about a particular drug, and most medical schools present it in a different fashion. I spend half my time flipping around finding the relevant section about which I want to read.

    Also, is it too much to ask that medical textbooks be properly bound? A flimsy paperback with cheap binding simply won't stand up to the rigors of lugging this book back and forth to class every day.

    Not Recommended.


     Rating 1   Written on September 7, 2006
       Summary: Awful
    This text is required at my medical school. The text is dense and unapproachable, but that isn't my main complaint-the organization is TERRIBLE. One drug can be covered in multiple different chapters, but none of the chapters really have a great description! For example, B blockers are covered under "Autonomic Drugs", "Anti-Hypertensive Agents", and "Heart Failure Drugs"... just for starters! Anywhere you can use a B blocker, there's a separate discussion. Just give me ONE chapter on B blockers that actually talks about all of their uses!
    If you do have to use this awful book, be advised that the first section of each chapter is a review of the pertinent physiology. If you need to go over this again to understand how the drugs will act, then use your favorite physio book, not Katzung.
