This is probably one of the best pharmacology books I've had, next to the ones published by Lippencott. It's an easy read and pretty straight forward. This is the only book that our professor will use, and we are just covering basics right now, but I think the way they classify drugs are really helpful. It's not too dense to read considering the density of the material

This book seems to be used by mid-level practitioner courses fairly often. This is both its strength and weakness. If you are getting a 101 overview, this book is effective, but for an actual introduction into the compare/contrast of the drugs and when to apply them, I found this book worthless. I would agree and reference another reviewer's comment that the Lippencot pharm texts are better. A better introductory book is by Olson and if you can get away with Not buying this, spend the money on a pharm book that helps with clinicals.

A nice improvement would be to thoroughly weave in the tradenames next to generics, or at a minimum an appendix covering this.

I used this book in PA school and quite frankly its worthless. I would recommend a pharm book that is much more meaty for your material or you will find your self in trouble when it comes time to the boards especially if you have a poor pharmacology professor to boot.....

Save your money and search for a more useful text.......

I pre-ordered the book through Amazon. I was the first in the class to have the book. I would suggest pre-ordering whenever possible.!!
