This concise review of medical pharmacology is designed to help medical students streamline their study for course
review and help prepare for the USMLE Step 1 and similar licensing exams. 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 information. Clinically oriented USMLE-style review
questions and answers with explanations follow each chapter. A comprehensive examination appears at the end of the book.
A companion Website will offer the fully searchable text and access to the questions and answers.
