THE HANDS-ON GUIDE TO CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
The first edition of Hands-on Guide to Clinical Pharmacology
was written whilst we were medical students at St Bartholomew’s
& The Royal London Hospital School of Medicine and
Dentistry. At that time, we were in need of a practical yet
concise set of notes to revise clinical pharmacology. What had
initially been a collated set of revision notes was expanded
upon, structured and turned into the first edition of this book.
Some time has passed since then and, with research in pharmacology
marching on, it became evident that an update was
needed.In this second edition, we have presented information on 127
drugs, which you are most likely to encounter on hospital
wards or during your course of study. Sections containing
both treatment regimens of common conditions and detailed
information on the relevant drugs will help the reader obtain a
better understanding of therapeutic management.
