Summary: IT IS LIKE A PHARMACOLGY PROFESSOR IN YOUR HANDS 24/7
Review: This book is written by a medical college professor, for medical students, and review is usually used for USMLE, but when I saw the book, This is excellent book for students in pharmacy proffession too, because the author of this book is a Pharmacist first and then a Medical college professor, so this is a book for every medical profession student and teachers. This book is an excellent way to prepare for the NAPLEX exam. It is comprehensive, well written, and worth every penny. I atteneded a live teaching course presented by the author in OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF OSTEOPATHIC MEDICINE and it was also EXCELLENT. I learned more in that course than I learned in 5 years of pharmacy school.

Summary: Good investment!
Review: This book will surprise you! It has a brief review in the beginning of each chapter of the relevant physiology, and the rest of the chapter illustrates how the drug affects the "pristine order" of the principles described previously, so there`s a line of thinking that is followed from beginning to end, starting in the basic physiology and ending in the adverse effects and drug interactions. There is not too much information printed, which makes the book ideal to learn quickly and effectively, nothing like Katzung, where you take a whole afternoon to read a chapter. There are some beautifully conceived schemes and graphics that help a lot in understanding this part of medical science. The only bad thing for a European reader like me is that it is adjusted to the american reality .
