Produktbeschreibung

A comprehensive textbook of basic and clinical pharmacology for nurses and other allied health professionals, this book is superbly illustrated throughout so that complex mechanisms can be easily understood. Integrating basic and clinical pharmacology, it focuses on the distinct areas of absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion. It examines drugs used in neurological and psychiatric disorders, those with central and peripheral analgesic effect, and those used in disorders of the pulmonary, gastrointestinal, urinary, and endocrinological systems. The book also examines drugs in pregnancy and in children and the elderly.
