Basic Pharmacology, 4Ed by R Foster Pdf

The fourth edition of this well-known pharmacology textbook retains the overall objectives of the first: to present accounts of drug actions and their mechanisms in an inexpensive, compact and up-to-date form. Intended for all those students of medicine and allied health professions who are embarking on the study of pharmacology, the book assumes no prior knowledge of the subject, assuming only a modicum of chemistry, biology and physiology as prerequisites. 'Basic Pharmacology' continues to provide an excellent introductory text for all those who are embarking on the study of pharmacology. Now in its fourth edition, this book has become an established undergraduate text, presenting a large and complicated subject in a comprehensive yet simple and concise manner. The succinct 'lecture notes' style of the text underlines the logical structure of the subject and makes the book easy to use for revision or for reference. Throughout, the emphasis is on principles rather than details, and on understanding rather than memorization. The authors of this book, the pharmacologists and their teaching colleagues of the School of Biological Sciences at Manchester University, have been able to draw on many years of experience both in the teaching and clinical aspects of pharmacology, as well as in laboratory-based and clinical research to produce a book that is both current and relevant to undergraduate studies across the medical and allied health disciplines. Completely revised and updated for the new edition, this book has been designed to help students appreciate the rationale underlying the uses of drugs in therapeutics. Now divided into nine well thought out chapters, each with its own particular pharmacological theme, the fourth edition of 'Basic Pharmacology' should continue to fulfil its established role as an outstanding undergraduate text.

Basic Pharmacology by Maria A. Hernandez, Ph.D.,Appu Rathinavelu, Ph.D. Pdf

Intended for use in an introductory pharmacology course, Basic Pharmacology: Understanding Drug Actions and Reactions provides an in-depth discussion of how to apply the chemical and molecular pharmacology concepts, a discussion students need for more advanced study. The textbook introduces the principles of chemistry and biology necessary to understand drug interactions at the cellular level. The authors highlight chemical and physical properties of drugs, drug absorption and distribution, drug interactions with cellular receptors, and drug metabolism and elimination. The book begins with a review of chemical principles as they apply to drug molecules, focusing mainly on those for commonly prescribed drugs. The authors use drug structures to illustrate the chemical concepts learned in general and organic chemistry courses. They cover the dynamics of receptors in mediating the pharmacological effects of drugs. They clarify theories, drawn from the scientific literature, which explain drug-receptor interactions and the quantitative relationship between drug binding and its effects at the cellular level. The authors’ extensive use of drug structures for teaching chemical and molecular pharmacology principles, and their emphasis on the relevance of these principles in future professional life makes this book unique. It provides the framework for better understanding of advanced pharmacology and therapeutics topics. Blending medicinal chemistry and pharmacodynamics aspects, this textbook clearly elucidates the essential concepts that form the cornerstone for further work in pharmacology.
