	Medications and Mother's Milk: A Manual of Lactational Pharmacology
	By: Thomas W., Ph.D. Hale ISBN: 096362198X Publisher: Pharmasoft Medical Pub Release Date: 01 April, 2004 Bioscience book rank: 332334	I just purchased the updated 2006 edition from B&N. Although this book is very useful and informative, I must say I have a difficult time understanding all the medical terminology. Eventhough they attempt to give definitions of all the medical terminology, the definition itself is too complicated. I feel like I need to go to medical school to understand this book completely. Or breastfeeding already? Get this. And get it before you need it, because it may take a while to be delivered. Breastfeeding women are frequently told by health care providers that they must wean to take a particular medication; this is only very rarely true. But you won't be able to know without good information, and this book has the definitive answers. <br /> <br />Also useful during pregnancy. A lot of advice to pregnant women is basically based on the suffer-through-it principle. This book will help you participate in making a safe, informed decision about whether a particular medication is safe enough for you to take. VERY HELPFUL AND MUST HAVE FOR MOTHERS WHO ARE BREASTFEEDING AND EVEN PREGNANT
	Crash Course (US): Pharmacology: with STUDENT CONSULT Access
	By: Donald Barnes ISBN: 1416029591 Publisher: Mosby Release Date: 01 June, 2006 Bioscience book rank: 931934	I received free use of this book online, through Student Consult, for a couple of weeks. After the free trial period I missed the book so much that purchased it. The book itself isn't all that great. The layout is difficult to read and the typeface is pretty small. What I wanted was the online version. <br /> <br />So, after following the instructions Crash Course: Pharm is up on my Student Consult page right next to RR Path and my microbook. The online Crash Course contains the same material as the book but in a more user friendly way. The highlight of this book is the charts and tables that are used to illustrate the difference of drugs within a class. For instance, there is a digram showing where all the major antineoplastics act. I can print off that diagram and write all over it, add other drugs....whatever. Being able to access the entire book online is worth the price. <br /> <br />I am also using a set of pharm cards to review. Between these 2 sources I haven't yet had to dig up the big Lange Katzung. Ask the company for a free trial if you aren't sure. That's what made me buy it.
	Pharmacology for Nursing Practice
	By: Sherry F. Queener, Kathleen Gutierrez ISBN: 0323019110 Publisher: Mosby Release Date: 21 February, 2003 Bioscience book rank: 560841
	Lecture Notes: Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics (Lecture Notes)
	By: John L. Reid, Peter C. Rubin, Matthew Walters ISBN: 1405135190 Publisher: Wiley-Blackwell Release Date: 18 September, 2006 Bioscience book rank: 707090
	Pharmacology for Chemists (Acs Professional Reference Book)
	By: Joseph G. Cannon ISBN: 0841235244 Publisher: An American Chemical Society Publication Release Date: 01 April, 1999 Bioscience book rank: 118294	This book is a one stop shop for Chemists wanting to be familiar with the essentials of Pharmacology. Cannon also adopts the same perspective, always giving stress on the chemical basis of the action of drugs, as well as neurotransmitters, hormones and intracellular signalling molecules. The first part of the book deals with general principles, which Cannon beautifully explains in a nutshell. Topics include the blood-brain barrier, drug receptors, pharmacological assays, metabolic inactivation and modifications of drugs by organs, basic pharmacokinetics, and properties of membranes and cells. The latter part is focused on particular systems. It is especially in discussing the Central Nervous System that the book really shines. Cannon talks in detail about the neurochemistry and physiological action of several important neurotransmitters and their agonists & antagonists. He also discusses the most important diseases arising from malfunctioning of the CNS. The chemistry of addiction also receives due exaplanation. Later chapters include discussions of cardiovascular drugs and drugs which are used to treat Asthma and Allergies. <br />Pharmacology is a vast science, and it not possible for a utilitarian chemist to work through the grand tomes on the subject to get what he wants. Cannon's book largely remedies this situation, and provides him with the essentials, without overloading him with information. This slim volume is a must on the shelves of Medicinal Chemists, Biochemists and any professional working in, or interested in Drug Design. Reading this book is much easier after taking the author's course. You get a better feeling for how the book is laid out after listening to the author's lecture style. An organic chemist by training, the author naturally gears this book to the organic chemist. He gives just enough physiology to understand the pharmacology behind it. The book follows his lecture course fairly well with more in-depth discussion on topics of interest. A standard reference text that should be in any chemists' library starting out in the pharmaceutical field.
	Multiple Choice Questions in Clinical Pharmacology
	By: Timothy G. K. Mant, Lionel D. Lewis, James M. Ritter, Timothy G.K. Mant ISBN: 0340762950 Publisher: A Hodder Arnold Publication Release Date: 15 January, 2002 Bioscience book rank: 890879
	MemoCharts Pharmacology: Drug Therapy for Epilepsy (Review chart)
	By: Howard Shen ISBN: 1595410058 Publisher: Minireview Release Date: 16 November, 2004 Bioscience book rank: 687192
	Integrated Cardiopulmonary Pharmacology (2nd Edition)
	By: Bruce J. Colbert, Barbara L. Kennedy ISBN: 013228541X Publisher: Prentice Hall Release Date: 17 May, 2007 Bioscience book rank: 703927	it's what I needed for theRespiratory program that I'm in. Shipment was fast. I'm very pleased This is a very good book for RT students. I like its organization and presentation. It is by far the best book available for basic pharmacology in terms of coverage and readability. I agree with another reviewer in that the students are actually reading the chapters on their own. The review questions in the book are nice but missing the answer key (at least for the instructors). The online review questions are mostly recall. I hope in the next edition, more application and clinical questions would be developed for the book and online review. Instead of references within the text, it uses a bibliography format at the end of the book. However, this is more than adequate for an introductory course. Finally, I know it can be "painful" to switch textbooks but this new book is definitely worthy of your time and effort. If you supplement the book with other resources available (printed or web-based), it can be as complete as any other pharmacology books currently available. Good for respiratory therapy students- not useful for students in pharmacy or medicine. Too many incorrect statements and important omissions. Very superficial coverage of non-pulmonary topics.
	Cannabis and Cannabinoids: Pharmacology, Toxicology, and Therapeutic Potential
	By: Franjo, M.D. Grotenhermen, Ethan Russo ISBN: 0789015080 Publisher: Routledge Release Date: 15 April, 2002 Bioscience book rank: 842177	There are so few books (unfortunately due to severely limited research) that provide a pharmacological view. This book is interesting in that it points out the most common receptor sites aswell as the agonists(stimulate the receptor) and antagonists(block the receptor). Much more research needs to be done but until then this book shines for the information it provides during these dark ages of thought. Good information, wish there was more...
