Summary

A comprehensive textbook of basic and clinical pharmacology for nurses and other allied health professionals, superbly illustrated throughout so that complex mechanisms can be easily understood. Basic principles (pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics etc) are brought together with clinically oriented chapters based on body systems and specific conditions. This book is based on the best-selling Scandinavian textbook of pharmacology for nurses, written and illustrated, by a team of pharmacologists at Tromso University, Norway, but fully revised and adapted into English by the three UK authors.
