 Study Guide for Pharmacology for Health Professionals October 5, 2007
Emily J. Sacchetti
This is a great workbook for my Allied Health Pharmacology class. It makes a great supplement to the textbook it accompanies.
 Disorganized Magazine Article Pretending to be a Textbook August 1, 2008
James R. Pannozzi (Las Vegas)
This book is an appallingly dull magazine article with each chapter a dull repetition of drug names, uses, contraindications, adverse effects.
Written as though by a drug industry shill, the book condescends to include some information on herbal remedies but undercuts almost every one with vague warnings and statements that "research" shows this to be ineffective for... but then OMITS the research citation.
Interestingly, in the chapter which includes discussion of malarial drugs, the book omits any mention whatever of the herb "Artemisia" (qing hao is the Chinese name) which DOES work against malaria and has been certified by the World Health Organization for that purpose.
At every step, the most horrible side effects of the pharmaceuticals are dismissed with a wave of the hand as if it is OK that some drugs produce as side effects the very illnesses that they are supposed to be curing.
Avoid this dull dumbed down long winded "advertising" brochure and try to find SOME OTHER book on pharmacology. Katzung is pretty good.
