 excellent book, very concise, June 17, 2011

I am a clinical pharmacist, I first purchased the textbook which was VERY detailed! It is a phenomenal book but I just did not have the time to read it all, so I purchased the paperback version. I am very glad that I did! It is very concise and just as informative as the textbook. If you are strapped for time but want an excellent informative source that is short and to the point get the paperback. Hope this helps, best of luck!

 Highly slanted version, January 19, 2010
By Edward Terry (Washington, DC)
|

I bought this thinking it would make a great reference book. The full is edition is bulky and heavy (at over 8 pounds versus 2 lbs for this version). However, this was an entirely different book altogether. It read more like a pharmaceutical company version. I found many inaccuracies and claims about drugs that were not supported and certainly not included in the full version.
For example, the section on managing dyslipidemia presents a very statin-centric view and dramatically downplays the adverse effects of statins. Most readers are probably not aware that when pharmaceutical companies run clinical trials on new medications, they first pre-screen potential candidates to eliminate those who do experience adverse reactions. In doing so, they can drastically reduce the incidence of side-effects.
If you're looking for an objective examination of pharmacology, stick with the full version.

 excellent book, October 27, 2009

Absolutely enjoyed reading the book. Not cluttered like the big Goodman Gilmans with too much of detail. Much better than, most pharmacology books out there. Provides just the right amount of detail for medical students who want to have good knowledge of pharmacology, and before i forget it is easy to carry around as well.Good job done by the publishers all in all. Wish it was available on kindle as well.
