  Clinical Pharmacy and Therapeutics provides an accessible, complete and authoritative account of all major aspects of therapeutics and rational drug use. Written by a distinguished multi-author team of pharmacists and physicians, it is organized primarily by body systems and disorders, with the same logical order followed for each chapter. For this major new edition, the presentation of the book has been enhanced by a new, larger page size and the addition of a second colour to make the text more readable and attractive. Colour photographs of clinical relevance have been added on eczema, psoriasis, pressure sores and leg ulcers. The text is referenced throughout, and each chapter includes an up-to-date bibliography.
