This book goes over the basics, and without all of the wordy, dull in rank that other pharmacology texts have. I was searching for some time for a book that did not bore me to tears with needless in rank, and this was it. In fact, I used it more than the fixed nightmare text we were assigned to read. Get it, even a used one, and learn those meds!

I took pharmacology two semesters ago, and it was a complete nightmare because the professor chose a complicated text that has useless in rank. Now, I have to play catch-up on my own. I searched this site for a few days, and came across this. This is so what I needed. Now, rather than memorize, I UNDERSTAND!! I would advise any nursing student to have this one as an alternate support book to know tablets in a no nonsense way!!
