    This is the greatest book for Pharmacology!!!!!!5
    This book was my bible for Pharmacology. Even though "Goodman and Gillman" contains everything there is to know about the subject, which medical school student needs to know all of that. The book first starts each chapter with a review of fundamental physiology of the normal body. Next it describes the drug and its effects on the body. Next comes the clincal pharamcology of the drugs. The understanding of pharmacology from reading this book is unparalleled.

    Good Pharmacology review, without great detail4
    This book is basically a summary of Goodman and Gilman, without all the unnecessary detail. A good review text, and lots easier to carry around. Great for quick look-ups.

    Excellent,detailed and rich...4
    for my Pharma finals i studies the whole book,litraly. Its very deatiled,very rich, very usefull...one problem is its crowded and at time it might be dull,if it only had the ease that lippincot does it would be "the" master piece.
