Review
“This edition marks the 25th year that Basic and Clinical Pharmacology by Katzung has been available for teaching students pharmacology. This remains the gold standard of useable texts for teaching pharmacology to medical students. In my opinion, this is the best edition. 4 Stars!”--Doody's Review Service (Doody's )

From the Back Cover
The most widely used, up to date, and authoritative pharmacology text in medicine.
“Katzung is brilliant. This text was an absolute bible for my medical school pharmacology course and on rotations. If it's not in Katzung, you probably don't need to know it. An absolute must to do well on the boards.”*
“A wonderful book ... great details on physiological mechanisms. Highly recommended.”*
“Contains all the essentials a clinical student or doctor may need.”*

5.0 out of 5 stars
This is the greatest book for Pharmacology!!!!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Basic & Clinical Pharmacology (Paperback)
This book was my bible for Pharmacology. Even though "Goodman and Gillman" contains everything there is to know about the subject, which medical school student needs to know all of that. The book first starts each chapter with a review of fundamental physiology of the normal body. Next it describes the drug and its effects on the body. Next comes the clincal pharamcology of the drugs. The understanding of pharmacology from reading this book is unparalleled.

WELL WORTH THE PRICE,
By reviewer (Zurich, Switzerland.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Basic & Clinical Pharmacology (Paperback)
The "Basic & Clinical Pharmacology" may not be the most comprehensive and the most detailed single-volume text available on Pharmacology, but it has a lot of positive attributes. It is straightforward, well-illustrated, and ranks among the lowest-priced voluminous books that contains all the essentials a clinical student or doctor may need.

best practical pharm text out there,
By ... "vilbs" (Montreal) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Basic & Clinical Pharmacology (Paperback)
This book has been a great reference for me as I've gone through medical school. Clear, well written, and with excellent illustrations, the information is easily accessible and quite practical. It may be a little advanced for beginner students, but it's an absolute must have reference for someone with a need to know pharmacology.
