Integrating and summarizing the essentials of medical pharmacology, this work offers a format which allows rapid review and assimilation of facts and concepts. It also provides a network of cross-references to other information in the volume as well as references to "Lippincott's Illustrated Reviews: Biochemistry", thus facilitating the mastery of the inter-relationships between the biomedical disciplines. Practice questions (of the type used by the National Boards of Medical Examiners) are included throughout the text, allowing the reader to monitor his/her understanding of the material. Answers with explanations accompany these question sections.
