Reviews of the previous editions: "...brilliant for revision and last minute cramming!" Cambridge Medicine - Jan 2001 "...if you are looking for a book that covers frequently-used drugs, and provides you with all the basic information, then this book should be on your list, plus at £9.99 it won't break the bank either" Barts and the London Chronicle/Autumn 2000 "...I would recommend this book and can envisage it useful both on the wards and as a revision tool for a long time to come." Black Bag, Bristol Medical School Gazette/Freshers Ed 00 "This book has clearly excelled, as a quick reference learning tool - one that in my opinion was long overdue needed by clinical students and particularly house officers." Guy's Gazette/May2000 "This is a good ward companion, should space permit, or a concise accompaniment to a more comprehensive pharmacology text. A good buy at under £10.00." Student BMJ "If you have the contents of this guide at your finger-tips you will be truly well-armed." International Journal of Pharmacology & Therapeutics "So whether you're revising for your finals pharmacology or you're just plain confused about the pharmacology you've done so far, this book is a great help."
