Rang & Dale's Pharmacology, 9th Edition, presents core basic and clinical science principles for students and healthcare practitioners. It moves systematically from molecular receptor interactions to the clinical applications of major drug classes.
The volume addresses fundamental pharmacological mechanisms, chemical mediators, organ systems, and nervous system pharmacology. It also examines antimicrobial therapies, cancer treatments, and adverse drug effects.
Designed for learners in medicine, pharmacy, and pharmacology, the text is also noted by reviewer Carol L. Beck as well suited for graduate courses for MS, PhD, or MD/PhD students. Online resources supply more than 100 chapter-specific multiple-choice questions and six cases for self-assessment.
