Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"This book is a must for any physician who cares about a rational approach to drug therapy and how to avoid unnecessary drug interactions, adverse affects, and drug failures. If every physician followed the principles outlined in this book the number of drug failures and unneeded adverse reactions would be dramatically reduced. The editors of this book go way beyond the presentations in normal pharmacology textbooks. The information is current, well organized, and well presented.". . "4 Stars" (Doody's )

This review is from: Melmon and Morrelli's Clinical Pharmacology (Paperback)
This new and significantly updated edition of Melmon and Morrelli's classic textbook of clinical pharmacology is a must- read for anybody interested in improving their therapeutic practices. The editors need to be commended for getting leading authorities to contribute chapters in their respective fields. This book should be equally relevant to medical students and physicians in practice. Overall, an excellent buy !
4.0 out of 5 stars
For advanced only!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Melmon and Morrelli's Clinical Pharmacology (Paperback)
This book is especially good to advanced users with some basic pharmacologic background. It contains clinically useful drugs and their effects, abandoning those which you will never meet in hospital. I recommand it to senior medi students for their clinical rotation.
