SummaryTable of Contents
Pharmacology is perhaps the most dynamic of all the basic and applied sciences. New drugs are being developed on a regular basis, and existing drugs are constantly being re-examined to help provide the most effective management of various diseases. This edition has been expanded to provide physical therapists and occupational therapists with a current and comprehensive treatise on pharmotherapeutics.
