Pharmacology - I

I am very much happy to write preface on Dr. Chandraprabhu Jangme’s Text Book on Pharmacology-I written as per New PCI Syllabus. I found book is written in simple technical language and illustrated with beautiful concepts so that student will always remember the actions of drugs at any given time. Pharmacology is very much important subject and once the concepts are clear student can make very successful career in Pharma Sales, Pharma Marketing, Pharma Product Management, Clinical Research and New Drug Development. I do not have any hesitation in recommending this book for Pharmacy Students to build base of Pharmacology to make strong career in Pharmacy Profession
