Lippincott's Pharmacology, 4th Ed.:
Great reference book! Graphics are useful (especially for quick look at common adverse effects). Gives succinct description of how drugs in a class work and examples of drugs in a class.
Amazing:
This book is the best pharmacology book I have ever read. It helped me put everything into perspective! It's a must have for any medical or pharmacy student!
Good book to have...:
I am currently taking pharmacology, and this book compliments the course very well. If you worried about how in-depth this book goes, don't be. Almost everything we have talked about in class has been discussed in the BRS for Pharmacology. If it wasn't, then I can consult an online book through our library or simply google a topic. Cheap book for sufficient and effective learning.
thorough & well written:
I am using this book to study Pharm in med school. It is organized well and fairly easy to read. It also has good organizational charts and important sidelights that help you retain what's important. I'd recommend this if you are a med student who is looking for an alternative to a traditional textbook. I also recommend using flashcards as an add-on studying tool.
