Outstanding,
By crafty erika "crafter" (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Understanding Pharmacology for Health Professionals (4th Edition) (Paperback)
This book is so comprehensive. I can't begin to tell you what a valuable tool this is. For example, for heart medications, it breaks them down into actions such as anticoagulation drugs, antiarrhymics, vasodilators, etc. I recommend this book for anyone in the medical field who wants to know more about medications.
