Pharmacology is a fascinating and
multifaceted discipline that impacts both our professional careers and personal
lives. The study of pharmacology covers a broad spectrum of diverse yet
interrelated topics, such as botany, molecular chemistry, research, clinical
observation, toxicology and patient education. Medical pharmacology is a unique
synthesis of basic pharmacology with clinical pharmacology and
pharmacotherapeutics. It is both a basic and an applied science. It forms the
backbone of rational therapeutics. Whereas the medical student and the
prescribing physician are primarily concerned with the applied aspects, correct
and skilful application of drugs is impossible without a proper understanding
of their basic pharmacology.
The purpose of this book is not merely
to be a source of information in basic pharmacology, but also to present the
background and context in which different classes of drugs have been developed
and are used. This book deals with drug interaction with living organism, drug
dosage forms and biological effects of drugs. Along with the development of new
drug delivery systems. The present book first edition is maintained, revisited
and extensively updated. Latest therapeutic guidelines from authoritative
sources like WHO, British National Formulary, National Formulary of India, as
well as from eminent professional bodies have been incorporated.
As such this book should be useful to
practitioners in the hospital doctors (MBBS & MD), pharmaceutical and
allied health sciences, hospital pharmacists, drug patent attorneys, government
scientists and regulatory personnel, and other seeking information concerning
the design, manufacture, and control of pharmaceutical dosage forms. In fact
all those persons involved in new drug discovery, dug mechanism of action and
its effect. It can form the basis for the modern revision of syllabi of courses
of B. Pharm, M. Pharm and M. Sc. Pharmaceutical chemistry with specialization
in pharmaceuticals.
