Book Description Pharmaceutical Pharmacology, encompassing 78 chapters, is divided into four major comprehensive parts. Part A deals with general pharmacology, pharmacology of peripheral nervous system and pharmacology of central nervous system. Part B is concerned with pharmacology of cardiovascular system, drugs acting on the hemopoetic system, drugs acting on the urinary system, autocoids and drugs acting on the respiratory system. Part C contains chapters on drugs acting on the gastrointestinal tract, pharmacology of endocrine system, chemotherapy and principles of toxicology. Part D discusses mainly clinical pharmacy, pharmacotherapy, important disorders of organ system and their management, therapeutic drug monitoring and concept of essential drugs and rational drug use. To provide a realistic approach to the understanding of the subject, each chapter commences with a crisp introduction followed by classification, treatment of each class of drugs with reference to important 'drugs' vis-a-vie pharmacological actions, pharmacokinetic actions, mechanism of action, therapeutic uses, dosage regimens, adverse drug reactions, drug interaction, etc. The text is profusely illustrated with labelled diagrams, graphics and lucid explanations. It provides the reader an explicit route starting from the molecular understanding of receptors and drug activities to the therapeutic applications of the most important class of drugs.
