The MCQs will be presented as four practice tests and each test should take c3 hours. Each test will consist of 80 MCQs presented in a variety of formats. Main topics include: therapeutics and rational drug use; aetiology of disease states; presentation of conditions; investigations and diagnostic testing; drug therapy including adverse drug reactions; drug interactions; and contra-indications.

This title offers multiple choice questions in pharmacy; a second of "MCQs in Pharmacy Practice". Papers including MCQs are a key component of undergraduate and postgraduate pharmacy exams.

This book will be excellent preparation for these exams and can also be used for self-study.
