DESCRIPTION
Master the fundamentals of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics with the new edition of this unique
text. Essentials of Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics, 2nd Edition (formerly An Introduction to
Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics), contains must-know content for students of pharmacy and
medicine, people engaged in drug development and those working in drug regulatory agencies, as well as any
health care professional who needs to understand the basic principles upon which quantitative decisions in
drug therapy are based.
This new edition provides essential information on the link between drug exposure within the body to drug
response — the key quantitative tools and principles of drug therapy you need to know, without extensive
mathematics. Up-to-date examples of currently prescribed drugs are particularly relevant to contemporary
practice, and study problems in every chapter help you master the information in the text.
