Medical Pharmacology & Therapeutics provides all the information medical and healthcare students need throughout their degree programme and beyond, including for professional qualifications such as the PSA.

It takes a helpful systems-based approach that orders information according to body systems and disease areas, rather than by drug class.

    Clear explanations both of the pharmacology and practical use of drugs. A more succinct and practical alternative to Rang and Dale, while still retaining comprehensive coverage of the subject area.
