I was recommended this book by a former student of Dr. Neal's and after one perusal, I was hooked. It has since become my favorite medical textbook. It is so elegant and enjoyable to read that it is hardly like studying at all. The diagrams are particularly impressive, with each consolidating the equivalent of many wordy pages in the average pharmacology textbook. It is perfect when taking a medical pharmacology course, to be read "first and last" for each topic. If you're a visual learner, this one's for you.

Every piece of information "Medical Pharmacology at a Glance" gives you is vital. It figures out the big problems most students face when studying pharmacology:

Which of this huge amount of data is really important? Which concepts I must never forget?.

The book is very concise, but believe it or not, at the same time is much more understandable than many other extense texts.Besides, diagrams definitely allow you to get a much more integrated view of every topic.

What is more, this text is great for reviewing the subject, it's amazing how many essential drugs it covers.

I never write reviews, but this book was great enough for me to write one. This is one pharmacology book that is nice and sweet. Gives enough detail for us to understand the pharmacokinetics without overwhelming someone with detail. The only thing must be aware of is that book is British, and has British spelling ex. oedema instead of edema or neurones instead of neurons. Some drug names may be slightly different as well. Otherwise, I highly recommend this as a basic pharmacology book.

This is the best medical science text ever written. It is short, concise and diagrams allow a visual synthesis that facilitates learning. The only drawback is occasional British terminology (e.g. Adrenalin is called Epinephrine). It is best used while taking pharmacology so that side-effects can be updated for boards.

I first used this book in my undergraduate nursing program. It was of great assistance in learning at that time, and I recently purchased this edition to be able to refresh my memory on the ways medications work that I don't commonly prescribe, now that I am a Nurse Practitioner. It is also a great resource to use when explaining pharmacology to co-workers and even patients.

All you need to know about pharmacology in this clear and concise book. Excellent!

This book is good to learn basic drug mechanisms but it doesn't distinguish between different drugs of a single class.
