Written primarily for students of medicine, pharmacy, and
pharmacology, this introductory book provides a concise summary of
the principles that underlie the science of pharmacology. It
presents the basic concepts required for understanding the use,
mechanisms of action, toxicity and side effects, and therapeutic
application of drugs in man. Thus the book may also be of interest
to medical practitioners and to biological and medical scientists.
Among topics covered are the sources of drugs, the way they are
administered and dealt with in the body, as well as concepts about
the nature of their actions. The last include their chemical
interactions with components of cells and the manner in which these
lead to therapeutically desirable as well as undesirable and even
toxic effects. In addition, clinically related subjects, such as
drug interactions, teratogenic and carcinogenic effects are
discussed. The development and testing of new drugs are also
described. For easy reference, at the back of the book there is a
glossary of drugs named in the text.
