Basic Pharmacology And Pharmacotherapeutics

The Third Edition of “BASIC PHARMACOLOGY AND PHARMACOTHERAPEUTICS” has been extensively revised and reorganised to provide comprehensive and dependable information and latest development in pharmacotherapeutics, so that reader gets larger domain of new generation of therapeutics, including mechanism(s) of action and associated adverse effects. In addition, efforts are made to correlate drug effects with physiology, biochemistry and pharmacology including few aspects of clinical pharmacology. Chemical structures of drugs and many new chemical entity are also added with a view to facilitate the understanding of (a) physiological functions, (b) interactions of chemical moiety for triggering/initiating vast array pharmacological activities
