Review
Book came EXACTLY like it was described and it came in quicker than I thought it would. I would definitely buy from this seller again. Fast and efficient
I own every single edition of Clinical Ocular Pharmacology. The first edition of this work did an excellent job in pointing out basic pharmaceutical priniciples to start the work off. The second edtion did this to a lesser extent and subsequent edtions ignored them all together. Editons three and beyond DID gradually expand specific Ocular treatment plans and disease descriptions more and more. Then this edtion came along. Certain drugs, which had been discussed in every single prior edtion were not even mentioned, and the treatment given to diseases and pharmaceuticals alike was abbreviatd. This was the first edition which in at least some way did not surpass it's predecessor. An overpriced dissappointment.

Review
There is good information here, but the layout and design of the book make most of it inaccessible. A typical chapter will open with some basic anatomy, physiology, and relevant cellular information. Then the writers will move into descriptions of diseases and drugs, and the text turns to a mess of drug description and history, random disease statistics, recommended drug doses, etc.--indeed, all of this information is good to know, but the presentation is atrocious. For example, some drugs will have their adverse effects nicely labeled and easy to find. Other drugs will have them buried in a long paragraph that may or may not be relevant. The writing is halting, jumping from concept to concept without regard for the reader. The charts and graphics are far clearer than the writing. The text is too comprehensive for its own good. In trying to shove everything into the text, the writers have dispensed with presenting a solid and clear understanding of basic pharmacology.
This book is the perfect level of detail for the average medical student. It is a middle ground between Goodman and Gilman and the simpler review books like Lippincott's Illustrated Reviews or Pharm Made Ridiculously Simple. It provides excellent information is a well-written, readable way, and explains most mechanisms in good detail.
I used this book during my pharmacology course and things proved to be harder than i expected. I always ended up looking things up in different books trying to understand why is this and why is that because despite its 600 pages this textbook somehow remains a review delevering only core information with inadequate degree of explanation. If you are in textbooks that go by "the x drug has the y side-effect" not explaing the underlying mechanism then this is definately your book!

Review
this book is very simple and thats why i love about it easy and quick refernce. perfect for practitioners and students alike
as a herbelist this is a good book to have on the shalf only problem price
As an Acupuncturist and Herbalist, this book has been the one book I rely on more than any other for the information that I need to formulate my herbs. The layout of the text permits me to find information that I need for determining efficacy, safety and drug-interaction. This text has assisted me in answering questions from pharmacists and physicians regarding the use and safey for herb preparations with pharmacological prescriptions. I consider this materia medica the best out there. This book and its companion, "Chinese Herbal Formulas and Applications" sit on my desk and in-reach at all times.

Review
This book is quite a disappointment for "the secrets" series. This Anthony lady rated her own book explaining that you will learn a lot, and so much important information is missing. You can't use it for anything... much unnecessary detail is put into it. This book is rubbish, so I recommend you stay away.
This book is a terrific mix of basic pharmacology and lesser known information important for competent prescribing and care. An appendix with basic physiology review is included, which is also helpful. It would be useful to the practicing physician and would be an excellent review source for board exams in pharmacology. Want to learn something? Get this book.
