  Ideally suited for today's health student, this pharmacology textbook places the science of pharmacology in a clinical context. Clinical considerations are integrated from the start within a framework designed to cover the subject as it is used in clinical practice. The text is divided into two sections for ease of use: section 1 presents the basic principles underlying pharmacology. Serial artworks describe the complex molecular mechanisms of the drugs described in detail in later chapters. Section 2 presents pharmacology in a systems-based format. Each chapter begins with an introduction to the system, then introduces common diseases affecting it. After establishing the scene in which the drugs are used, the drug class and specific drug (generic names) are comprehensively presented.

  Integrated Pharmacology, 2nd Edition takes a unique approach to pharmacology, considering drugs in the context of the diseases they are used to treat - all within a body system framework. Drug action is clearly explained at the molecular, cellular, tissue, and organ levels. The basic principles underlying pharmacology are presented, providing a strong foundation for the system-based chapters that follow. Each body system chapter addresses the common diseases affecting a system before comprehensively discussing the drug classes and specific drugs used to treat the diseases. A superb, full-color illustration program helps the reader understand the complex ways in which modern drugs are used to treat diseases.
