This textbook integrates basic and clinical science, making it well suited for both the traditional curricula and the integrated organ system-based curricula.

Basic and Clinical Pharmacology provides in-depth coverage of key pharmacology topics from basic principles to pharmacologic considerations for autonomic, cardiovascular-renal, smooth muscle, CNS, endocrine, antimicrobial, and chemotherapeutic and immunotherapeutic drugs. This 10th edition additionally presents dozens of new, recently approved drugs, including monoclonal antibodies and a detailed review of the mechanism of action and toxicities of traditional and newer drugs.

In addition to treatment strategies and recommended drugs for all major diseases, the textbook contains evidence-based chapters on abused drugs, special aspects of perinatal, pediatric, and geriatric pharmacology, and the latest information on over-the-counter drugs, herbal medicines, and nutritional supplements.
