Introduction to Pharmacology

Mannfred Davis Hollinger

editore: Taylor & Francis Ltd

pagine: 432

The first edition of Introduction to Pharmacology has over recent years become a highly influential text among students wishing to acquire a knowledge of pharmacology without having to refer to the larger, more detailed, traditional pharmacology volumes. This revised and updated second edition contains significant new material to bring the reader up-to-date with the latest practices and principles in pharmacology.Exploring the basic principles in both the therapeutic and toxicological aspects of drug use, the book employs contemporary examples of medication, supplemented with an increased number of accurate and easy-to-interpret figures and diagrams. Additionally, Introduction to Pharmacology presents the important concept of understanding the limitations surrounding the drugs that cure, replace physiological inadequacies, or treat symptoms, and which have led to the system of drug classification. The broad scope of the book also encompasses the role of the FDA, drugs in sport, and the use of animals for drug experimentation. A clear and accessible book, Introduction to Pharmacology builds on the strengths of the first edition and is an invaluable reference for all students interested in this subject.

Respiratory Care Pharmacology

Joseph L. Rau

editore: Mosby

pagine: 510

"Respiratory Care Pharmacology" presents all of the needs to know of respiratory pharmacology. It covers pharmacokinetics principles as they relate to respiratory agents, drug administration, and a range of specific drugs used in respiratory care and their effects on body systems. For the sixth edition, Rau has added newly released drugs and updated discussions with new content on adrenergic bronchodilators, mucoactive agents, anti-asthma agents, anti-infective agents, cardiac drugs, and circulatory drugs. For the first time ever, contributors have been brought on board to improve the non-respiratory drug sections of the book. This edition also includes more clinical scenarios and second-color throughout. As in the previous edition, the book is organized into three logical sections. The first section covers the basics of respiratory care pharmacology including the principles of drug action, the basic methods of drug administration, the standard drug calculations and the effects of drugs on body systems. Fully referenced and comprehensive, the second section covers the drugs most frequently delivered to patients by respiratory therapists, and the third section covers the drugs used to treat critical care and cardiovascular patients.
