Product Description
Lippincott's Illustrated Reviews: Pharmacology, Fourth Edition enables rapid review and assimilation of large amounts of complex information about the essentials of medical pharmacology. Clear, sequential pictures of mechanisms of action actually show students how drugs work, instead of just telling them. As in previous editions, the book features an outline format, over 500 full-color illustrations, cross-references to other volumes in the series, and over 125 review questions. Content has been thoroughly updated, and a new chapter covers toxicology. New to this edition will be a companion Website containing all of the illustrations, fully searchable text, and an interactive question bank. NOTE: International Edition available for sales outside North America and Caribbean (ISBN: 978-1-60547-200-3)

 BEST! Pharm book around December 18, 2001

I used this book to study for my second year pharm class, and it has to be one of the best medical texts I have used so fair. It is an excellent balance between not enough info, aka ridiculously simple, and sweet jesus Katzung! It is concise, well organized, and has helpful pictures. I can't stress enough that if you are in the market for a pharm book THIS IS THE ONE!!!!!!!!! You will thank me later as you get your H in pharm!
 Not the Best Out There March 2, 2004

This book is not entirely accurate or complete for the information that I felt that I needed to know for medical school and the boards. Moreover, the organization and diagrams are sometimes confusing. The practice questions seem somewhat un-board-like. I suggest instead the Lange Pharmacology book by Katzung and Trevor. It comes in several sizes to suit anyone's needs.

If you are looking for an easy to read, well illustrated book for your pharmacology studies,THEN STOP LOOKING!!! This is the book for the dynamic reader who likes:
Short and concise chapters.
Selfassesment questions by the end of every topic
Perfect illustrations
Maximum input with minimum of timeloss If less reading and lots of quick learning sounds good to your ears, then don't look any further. Mark my words, this is the best "PHARMACOLOGY-TEACHER" in my town and yours.
Excellent Pharmacology Review November 17, 2000

This book is really superb. I've been using it since the second medical year. One of the best features of this book is its black-and-white illustrations which make your life easy. The info are presented in an outline format for quick reading. It's concise and excellent for review (and for the first time) study! It contains some questions at the end of each chapter. Actually, this is what you need to know for examination purposes.
Good, but not enough to be your sole Pharm source June 12, 2004

I used this text to prepair for the boards, having already read Katzung's Pharmacology in class. This is a concise book, uniform, with many illustrations (many of them however could easily be omitted, since they simply present drug adverse effects graphically), and does a good job in selecting the prototypical drugs from each class. It could be a lot more complete in the section on CNS pharmacology, and on drugs for heart failure and hypertension (for example, it is stated that beta-blockers are contraindicated in heart failure, whereas it is well-known that this kind of drugs is essential for reducing mortality and hospitalizations in these patients). I particularly liked the section on antimicrobial chemotherapy, another high-yield topic for the boards. I have a positive overall impression of the book, but I found myself consulting Katzung more than often; also, it does not compare to the clearly superior Lippincott title on Biochemistry (keep in mind however than biochemistry lends itself much more easily to illustrated presentations than pharmacology). It will help you, but in order to top the exams, you will need an additional resource.
