GLAD TO HAVE IT NOW, WISH I HAD IT BACK THEN
I wish I had this book in medical school.Any medical student will tell you that pharmacology is not a difficult subject per se, but is overwhelmingly crammed with mountains of medications, receptor profiles, side effects, pharamcokinetic and dynamic information, drug classes, and so much more that it overwhelms me just to think about it!

This book is designed in the way your brain works as it learns this kind of material.It is organized in a way that creates a template in your head and lays out the material in such a way that you can recall the page and read off the information when you come across the arcane and detailed minutia on your exam.

I did well in the course but when I look back at the notes I made they're in the same format as the book, and buying the book will save you countless hours which you can put to good use learning the information in this book.Diagrams, charts, tables abound, as does the core of the subject itself.

I still use this book today to refer to as an attending when teaching medical students the fundamentals of pharmacology and they couldn't be happier!

Don't miss this book!Truly! ... Read more

Great Book For MA's with lots of info!
I received this book very shortly after I ordered it.It is in excellent condition.I have not finished reading and studying it; although I think it is the best book at Amazon for the Medical Assistant to have while in school and after on the job.

Thanks, worth the price.

Informative book
This is an excellent book on the subject of pharmacology. The only thing that irks me is that the answers to the review problems and questions are not in the back of the book. There is a website where one can go to get the answers, but I find this to be too time consuming.

Great Easy Read for Pharmacology
I would not say this is a die hard book. But very easy to understand, presents material in a good way. Do not use if for NCLEX prep. This is a book while taking a pharmacology course or through nursing school. I used this the entire time and it was a great resource. Antibiotic chapter is great!

Great!
I love this book. It has helped me tremendously in the arduous task of learning pharmacology. It may be more than a nursing student would need, but for the medical student it coveres everything you'd need to know in a concise format. I definitely recommend it, and personally prefer it to Lippincott.

Excellent Book
Cool book for medical student.All you need to know in a concise, easy to ready format.Includes practice USMLE questions.A must have!

Good pharm review
Well organized book with checklists, explicitly explained graphs and boxes,and Q & A's are well made as well.

Smart, concise, efficient
Great review book, especially if you have already spent time on studying pharmacology (I used Katzung's Pharamacology), this book helps a great deal to bring this knowledge back to surface.

Fabulous Pharm Review
Short, concise discussion on each category (not specific drugs) with notes on drugs that have interesting or significant deviation from category. Explanations are short and sometimes thin, but if you do the practice questions you realize a lot of the teaching info in book comes from the questions. Highly recommended review book. ... Read more

Excellent resource
This is an excellent resource for pharm geared towards women's health. Gives lots of info related to meds during pregnancy. A valuable resource for all women's health providers and great review for all students of women's health, midwifery, and family nursing.
Not necessarily enough info about the rest of the population, but when you're looking for the missing piece relating to women and pregnancy, it definitely fills in the gaps.

Excellent resource
Well written, easily understood.Exceptional organization.Excellent resource for Advanced practice nurses or anyone needing to understand Women's health and Pharmacology.

a must have
It is no longer best practice to just know drug names and dosages so this is a book that needs to be a standard reference for every clinic that provides care to women.It should be readily available to all faculty & students who focus on women's and maternity services. Consumers will find it useful too but due to its size donating a copy to your local library or women's club may be the best investment. Congratulations to the Editors and authors! ... Read more

A very good overview of pharmacology
This book is a good reference for people who have just started on pharmacology. It give a very good overview of the general classifications of drugs including side effects, contraindications, and nursing interventions. I suggest that you buy the study guide along with it as it can help you review the concepts.

happy to find
I was happy to find these. A new edition was out and the publisher did not have any more. I needed this particular edition because I had not planned for an increase in enrollment

It worked for me!
While this book was not helpful for another reviewer, it saved my butt on the NCLEX-PN.It's a quick o-view of each classification, common drugs and their actions.No, it won't teach you pharmacology - that's what class was for.But it's an excellent, simplified review for the NCLEX.The questions on the included CD were almost word for word the same questions, I got on the NCLEX.While I only had the minimum questions on the NCLEX (85), at least a dozen were drug-related.And I passed :-)I've recommended this study guide as an adjunct to any other NCLEX review CD to all my classmates and other students.It's the only NCLEX review book I kept after passing the NCLEX because it's a quick reference guide.

pharmacology made easy for NCLEX-PN
I found this publication very unhelpful.I was trying to find something that would give me a list of drugs to know for the test, their action, side effects, nursing precautions.Like a nursing drug handbok, but narrowed down to only drugs necessary for the PN test.This book has a review of drug classifications and what they are used for, and then goes on to practice questions about specific drugs, which are not reviewed.I am familiar with classifications, but have a hard time remembering all the drug names and side effects.This book did not help me with that info and was a waste of my money. ...

Review of Color Atlas of Pharmacology Lullman Mohr Hein Bieger
This book is very useful for all kinds of health professionals. It is concise and well illustrated with helpful diagrams.

Great for teachers
I'm a college professor and this illustrates a lot of my lectures for me.Great book.

This book is amazing!
I teach Pharmacology and I've never seen figures so fit to explain/understand the basic principles of this subject. Do pictures really say more than a thousand words? With regard to this book, the answer is YES.

Excellent
It's an excellent tool. In one page you can find a complete review of all the Pharmacological concepts already seen in undergraduate courses. I'm a chemical pharmacist and student of the PhD program in Pharmaceutical Sciences and it's a perfect option when I need to review some concept in a good schematic way.

I recommend this atlas blindly

Poor Book, Not Enough Meat in It
I used this book in PA school and quite frankly its worthless. I would recommend a pharm book that is much more meaty for your material or you will find your self in trouble when it comes time to the boards especially if you have a poor pharmacology professor to boot.....

Save your money and search for a more useful text.......

Only an overview
This book seems to be used by mid-level practitioner courses fairly often. This is both its strength and weakness. If you are getting a 101 overview, this book is effective, but for an actual introduction into the compare/contrast of the drugs and when to apply them, I found this book worthless. I would agree and reference another reviewer's comment that the Lippencot pharm texts are better. A better introductory book is by Olson and if you can get away with Not buying this, spend the money on a pharm book that helps with clinicals.

A nice improvement would be to thoroughly weave in the tradenames next to generics, or at a minimum an appendix covering this.

Really great pharmacology book
This is probably one of the best pharmacology books I've had, next to the ones published by Lippencott. It's an easy read and pretty straight forward. This is the only book that our professor will use, and we are just covering basics right now, but I think the way they classify drugs are really helpful. It's not too dense to read considering the density of the material
