Focus on Pharmacology: Essentials for Health Professionals

Focus on Pharmacology has a focused “teach-and-test” approach that is specifically designed to help allied health students learn pharmacology. Early chapters lay the groundwork by introducing pharmacology’s history, legal and ethical principles, drug administration techniques, essential math, and calculations. Following chapters focus on drugs specific to body systems, and each body system chapter concisely reviewing anatomy and physiology, providing a foundation for understanding drug actions and uses. Pediatric and geriatric pharmacotherapies are then covered in detail, as are antibiotics and other drug categories. Full-color photos, figures, and tables make this text exceptionally engaging and useful.
