SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This concise review of medical pharmacology is designed to help medical students streamline their study for course review and help prepare for the USMLE Step 1 and similar licensing exams. Each chapter presents specific drugs and discusses their general properties, mechanism of action, pharmacologic effects, therapeutic uses, and adverse effects. Drug lists and two-color tables and figures summarize essential information. Clinically oriented USMLE-style review questions and answers with explanations follow each chapter. A comprehensive examination appears at the end of the book
