About the Book

Understanding Drug Action: An Introduction to Pharmacology provides a highly readable introduction to the science of pharmacology and helps readers organize how they think about drug action. The book assumes only a modest understanding of biology, chemistry, and human physiology. Chapters in the book’s fi rst half provide a theoretical framework for understanding drug responses and receptors, a major organizational concept of pharmacology. The second half provides an overview of types of drugs and their effects. It is organized by major body systems such as the cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and central nervous systems, and by drug classes, such as antibiotics. Each chapter includes review questions. KEY FEATURES: Concise and systematic introducti on to the science of pharmacology Knowledge objectives Glossary terms Review questi ons with answers for each chapter Drug tables with brand and generic names More than 170 illustrati ons that supplement the text.
