GOODMAN AND GILMAN.S THE PHARMACOLOGICAL BASIS OF THERAPEUTICS

DESCRIPTION

The go-topharmacology reference that medical and health science professionals haverelied upon for more than 50 years!
 For more than 50 years, Goodman & Gilmans The PharmacologicalBasis of Therapeutics, has been the comprehensive, go-to reference that medicaland health science professionals have relied upon as the pinnacle of authorityand accuracy in describing the actions and uses of therapeutic agents inrelation to physiology and pathophysiology. Goodman & Gilmans balanceof basic science and clinical applications has guided thousands of health carepractitioners and students to a clear understanding of the drugs essential topreventing, diagnosing and treating disease.
The fourteenth edition features more than 600 color illustrations, including 50new figures on mechanism of drug actions which emphasizes the link betweenbasic mechanisms of action of drug action, pathophysiology of disease, andtherapeutic use of drugs.
