As much as I like the widely rated “Lippincott’s Illustrated Reviews: Pharmacology” which everyone in my PA class heard about first, the Katzung & Trevor Pharm Exam and Board Review pounds it into the dirt! This pharm book is so handy for studying not only to prepare for pharmacology exams in physician assistant school, but also for the national board exam we take after graduation. I like the huge, yes huge number of relevant pharm questions in this text – there are over 1000! And all the mechanisms of action are clarified! Each chapter is detailed enough to cover what you need to know and small enough to end in one sitting which sincerely enhances the learning administer. Katzung is well-written, and much better than taking a dry pharm class any day of the week – urge you get this one, it is a jewel.

I bought this to help me review for BCPS exam. There aren’t a lot of pharmacology exam prep books so the pickings are slim. I do urge this for anyone needing a pharm. study guide.
Rating: 4 / 5
Fantastic review book. Especially if using for the boards. It has excellent in rank, just enough detail and it doesn’t drag. It also has fantastic questions at the end to test yourself. I would urge this book to anyone taking the PANCE, USMLE or any boards requiring a excellent working knowledge of pharm.

I have had Lippincott’s Illustrated Reviews: Pharmacology, 4th Edition (Lippincott’s Illustrated Reviews Run) for my entire second year of medical school. I recently bought this book, and although I can’t give a thorough post-Step 1 review yet, I do prefer studying (for exams and Step 1) from this book rather than Lippincott’s.
The chapters are more lined up with the way my pharmacology class is set up, and it (briefly) includes lower-yield topics covered on my exams but not heavily emphasized on the Step 1. These topics are readily identifiable, but. The book itself includes an alphabetical listing of the 200 or so most tested drugs on Step 1, by the side of with a brief description of the means of action, toxicity, and the corresponding chapter or chapters that discuss this drug. Within each chapter, key drugs are listed in table format. Lippincott’s seems less organized, and each chapter is organized differently than the next, making it more trying to orient yourself when tender on to later chapters.
This book does a better job integrating other relevant subjects into the chapter. For example, there is a clad immunology review in the chapter that discusses immune modifying drugs. Also, in every chapter you will find “Skill-Keeper” questions that test your comprehension of previous chapters. Very helpful, and gone in Lippincott’s
Katzung also has 10-15 (roughly) end-of-chapter review questions, by the side of with two 120 question comprehensive exams, for a total of near 3 times as many questions as in Lippicott’s. Some people may not need questions, but I do. They show me what I do know and make the desire to learn (and remember) what I don’t. These questions are trying and helpful as a study aid even after you have used them to quiz yourself.
Katzung also has helpful figures and tables on near every page to satisfy visual learners like myself. Even as they are not as excellent as Lippincott’s (which is in full color, unlike the black and blue format of Katzung), they are helpful.
All in all, you can’t go incorrect with either one. Both are A- in First Aid. I simply prefer Katzung because of the list of 200 most commonly tested drugs and the numerous questions and 2 comprehensive exams at the end. Lippincott’s 4th edition was published more recently, though, and I have noticed that it includes some newer drugs that aren’t in this book. I’ve been told new drugs are honest game, so that is something to keep in mind.
