Here’s the in-depth information you need to be a safe and effective prescriber of medications.
This exceptional text builds your knowledge of pharmacology by first providing an overview of pharmacologic principles and then teaching you how to apply those principles to clinical practice. Focusing on applying pharmacologic scientific knowledge to clinical practice, it explains diagnostic and treatment reasoning and rational drug selection, while providing useful clinical pearls from experienced practitioners. The use of a Rational Drug Selection process enables you to understand how to prescribe the right drug...for the right patient...at the right time!
Updated to reflect the most recent scientific knowledge and clinical practice in the field, the 3rd Edition provides the same great content from the first two editions with even more of what you need.

This book is riddled with errors including; abbreviating the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act as HIPPA instead of HIPAA, referring to chapter 2 for information that is not there, and many others. This book is arranged in a very confusing manner making it difficult to find information. If at all possible, do not use this book and find another.By NP student
I have had worse and I have definitely had better. Contradicts self Chapter to chapter especially on antihypertensives. Brings up one topic then says "see chapter 17 and 33. It is heavy (too heavy to sit on your lap of to carry anything else with it heavy..., thickly impossible to flip pages ( own a dictionary this size and can flip through that!), redundancy is constant...Flip 300 pages to see that chapter...you find exactly what they just said. Use the index and see the list of 69 pages per topic. Tables and figures of prices and interactions and purpose are scattered and are found condensed and useful in other resource books. It's all in there, you just have to flip constantly to find WHERE they put it.By mackeniz
They state they will use both generic and brand names but that occurs less than 24% of the time. They have entire paragraphs that discuss a drug and end the paragrapgh by stating the drug was pulled off the market years ago (a valuable waist of my time).
They had a great idea that went way-way-way off track.
Class Advanced practice tests are based on it about 50% of the time. 2 stars because the first 4 chapters are informative, after that the drug part is useless and thank GOD it possesses an index. Rent it, do not buy it new. There are just way better resources that I use daily for a quarter of the price. The last test I only used internet programs and an ANP pocket book and aced the test. What a waist of time and money.
I never sell my books back because I have a resource library, this one will NOT be in it.
