I ordered this book and was seriously disappointed (I returned it). It is OK for basic pharmacology, but all of drug listings are seriously outdated, no azithromycin, no marbofloxacin... I would go on, but I stopped looking. I would not recommend this text. The "Handbook of Pharmacology" by Hsu is the updated version and definitely worth the bigger price tag.

The book looks just as good as new. No bent pages or damages. The item took longer than most items I order online but it did come. It took a little over 2 weeks, most things no more than 7 days.

This review is from: Pharmacology (Paperback)

I used this book alot for reference in phamacology. It is outline format like the others in the series, but it is good for quick review or for learning something in the first place. I like how it discusses them in drug classes as opposed to plumbs or something where it is by each specific drug.
