At last an attractive alternative to the tedious and time-consuming pharmacology books around! Info on over 100 commonly used drugs is beautifully laid out on one page per drug, and all you would ever want to know is there: how the drug works, what it's used for, the side effects, clinically important notes and much more. And what's more, it is different to any other pharmacology book in that it distinguishes between common and rare side effects (clinically, a very valuable distinction). This neat little book also tells you the pharmacological management of common medical conditions such as an acute asthma attack or Parkinson's Disease. As a nurse, I have found "Hands-on Guide to Clinical Pharmacology" a very valuable companion to my practice in hospital! And even better, it's really cheap.

this book is just what is missing on the medical student book market. have you ever seen a pharmacology textbook shorter than 200 pages? this book is a very valuable guide to your pharmacology revision: it is both concise and informative, written by medical students who know what it is expected of them. i can heartily recommend it to anyone studying medicine or pharmacology.
