  Pharmacy students and practitioners now have increased responsibilities in the areas of prescribing and treatment. Modern therapeutics requires an understanding of the disease process, clinical pharmacology and the supporting evidence from scientifically designed clinical trials. The process of selecting optimal drug regimens is a team effort and depends upon the skills of pharmacists working with physicians, nurses and other health care professionals. This multi-author text, written by pharmacists and physicians, is suitable for those who work in both primary and secondary care. It provides a complete and detailed account of all major aspects of therapeutics and rational drug use in a readable and attractive style. It is a key text for all pharmacists and will also be of interest to medical students, nurses and other health care professionals involved in the therapeutics team.
