 This book is rediculous! November 3, 2008
D. Beck (usa, texas)
I ordered this book with hopes that it would help me with my pharmacology class. It does list some medications with some brand names. It does not address any information about the math, or dosing involved in pharmacology that a nurse or surgical technologist might have to work out during surgery or otherwise. I am really embarrassed about the amount of money I spent having this book expressed to me.
 Great for review, bad for learning November 30, 2007

While in school, I enjoyed the pictures and such. But found the book tough to learn from. Maybe I don't handle gigantic lists that well.
Now that I'm out practicing, I like the book alot as a quick reference/refresher.

Great charts and they group the meds together by class. They give you a quick patho review too. This book really helps with memorization and it really is simple.
The title is an oxymoron, but they did a good job of making it simple July 20, 2007

I actually really like this book, but I think you do need the extra guidance of a professor when using it. It's very easy to look up the pharmaceuticals and all related info, and I was actually able to use it easily when taking the open book section (looking up the pharms) of a pharmacotherapeutics test. I would definitely recommend this book.
Great book for covering the basics! March 10, 2007

This is a wonderful book for those who are interested in the basics of pharmacology. Every chapter covers a different aspect of the body and the effects that pharmaceuticals have on it. Covering difficult concepts about the central, peripheral and autonomic nervous systems, the book utilizes charts and "cute" animations to illustrate how certain drugs act on specific receptors. In a sense this book could be considered to be a version of Cliff's Notes for pharmacology students.
However, while the book is straightforward and correct about the actions of the categories of drugs (for example, beta blockers), there are several errors in the pharmaceutical charts regarding the specific actions and side effects of certain medcines. Please check with your professors or a more knowledgable authority concerning these errors.
