Pharmacology for the Physical Therapist, 2nd Edition, is a textbook that addresses the role of pharmacology in rehabilitation practice. Derived from Katzung's Basic and Clinical Pharmacology, the text links pharmacologic concepts directly to clinical care.
The volume introduces basic principles, including pharmacokinetics and drug receptor dynamics, before surveying major therapeutic drug classes. Areas of focus include agents affecting the cardiovascular and central nervous systems, chemotherapeutics, and musculoskeletal therapies.
Reformatted to assist both students and faculty, this 2020 edition incorporates refined pedagogy and enhanced case discussions intended to support coursework and clinical understanding.
