This review is from: Pharmacology Secrets, 1e (Paperback)

This book is quite a disappointment for "the secrets" series. This Anthony lady rated her own book explaining that you will learn a lot, and so much important information is missing. You can't use it for anything... much unnecessary detail is put into it. This book is rubbish, so I recommend you stay away.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent reveiw of pharmacology, December 2, 2001

This review is from: Pharmacology Secrets, 1e (Paperback)

This book is a terrific mix of basic pharmacology and lesser known information important for competent prescribing and care. An appendix with basic physiology review is included, which is also helpful. It would be useful to the practicing physician and would be an excellent review source for board exams in pharmacology. Want to learn something? Get this book.
