For nearly seventy years, Goodman & Gilman's careful balance of basic science and clinical application has guided thousands of practitioners and students to a clear understanding of the drugs most useful in preventing, diagnosing, and treating disease. No other resource better explains how and why drugs affect different body systems, the chemical properties of drugs, dosage information, drug interactions, and toxic effects.
Well organized, extensively indexed, rigorously peer-reviewed, and referenced to the most up-to-date literature in the field, Goodman & Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 12e is truly the definitive resource on therapeutics. More than a book, Goodman & Gilman's is a working template for the effective and rational prescribing of drugs.
Enriched by a beautiful full-color presentation and updated to reflect all the critical new developments in drug action and drug-disease interaction, the Twelfth Edition features more than 440 color illustrations depicting key principles and actions of specific pathways and therapeutic agents. The companion DVD features all the images and tables in the text along with narrated animations.
