Drug action is lucidly explained at the molecular, cellular, tissue and organ levels. Section 1 presents the basic principles underlying pharmacology, providing a strong foundation for the systems-based chapters that follow. Each body system chapter in section 2 addresses the common diseases affecting a system before comprehensively discussing the drugs classes and specific drugs used to treat the diseases. Integrated Pharmacology 2E uses a superb full colour illustration program with conceptual illustrations specifically developed to help the reader understand the complex ways in which modern drugs are used to treat diseases.
