Full Description
This is the textbook for undergraduate pharmacists which takes an integrated approach to the pathophysiological and pharmacotherapeutic principles underlying the treatment of disease. This new edition of "Pathology and Therapeutics for Pharmacists" has been completely revised and updated to reflect advances in therapeutic practice and in the understanding of many disease states. Taking an integrated approach to the pathophysiological and pharmacotherapeutic principles underlying the treatment of disease, it is based on many years' experience of teaching one of the pioneering undergraduate clinical pharmacy courses in the UK. "Pathology and Therapeutics for Pharmacists" is an essential textbook for undergraduate pharmacists and should be of considerable interest to practising pharmacists and other healthcare professionals. Changes to the third edition include: a new chapter on haematological disease; incorporation of evidence based national and international therapeutic guidelines; the addition of thyroid disease in the endocrine chapter; a thoroughly revised chapter on pathological processes; and, re-ordered chapters to reflect British National Formulary sequence.
