Description:
Principles of General and Autonomic Pharmacology uses text, tables, and figures to teach students how to logically predict both therapeutic and adverse drug effects. It presents relevant material in a concise, focused, and student-friendly way, and can be covered effectively in a one-semester, introductory course in professional Pharmacology programs. Throughout the text prazosin and simvastatin are used as primary examples to illustrate drug metabolism and disposition, drug potency, and the influences of drugs on the autonomic nervous system. Each chapter within the text includes a section detailing how the information relates to the broader field of pharmacology and therapeutics. All the material in Principles of Autonomic Pharmacology has been extensively class-tested. It provides the vocabulary and solid foundation needed for further study in the professional curriculum, especially in advanced courses in drug metabolism, cardiovascular drugs, and drugs that act on the central nervous system.
