This concise review of medical pharmacology is designed for medical students, dental students, and others in the health
care professions. It is intended primarily to help students prepare for licensing examinations such as the USMLE Step 1
or similar examinations. Each chapter presents specific drugs and discusses their general properties, mechanism of
action, pharmacologic effects, therapeutic uses, and adverse effects. Drug lists and two-color tables and figures
summarize essential drug information in all chapters. Clinically oriented USMLE-style review questions and answers with
explanations follow each chapter. A comprehensive examination consisting of USMLE-style questions appears at the end of
the book.
