Katzung's Basic and Clinical Pharmacology

The most comprehensive and authoritative pharmacology text —updated with new content and USMLE-style questions

Presented in full color and packed with 300+ illustrations, Basic and Clinical Pharmacology is the comprehensive and engaging guide students have counted on for decades. To be as clinically relevant as possible, the book includes sections that specifically address the clinical choice and use of drugs in patients and the monitoring of their effects, along with case studies that introduce clinical problems. Each chapter opens with a case study, covers drug groups and prototypes, and closes with summary tables and diagrams that encapsulate important information. Updated to reflect the latest research, this sixteenth edition features a new chapter on cannabinoids, USMLE-style questions, new drug tables, and more.
