Basic and Clinical Pharmacology 12/e

Basic and Clinical Pharmacology, 12/e, authored by Bertram G. Katzung, Susan B. Masters, and Anthony J. Trevor, is a definitive resource in the field of pharmacology. Published in 2012 by McGraw-Hill Education, this twelfth edition presents an updated, comprehensive exploration of pharmacological principles and their clinical applications. Structured to mirror the curricula of many pharmacology courses and integrated health programs, the book addresses key concepts essential for both a fundamental and applied understanding of drug mechanisms and therapeutic strategies. The text is richly enhanced with more than three hundred illustrations - many in full color - along with summary tables and diagrams that distill critical information into clear, accessible formats. The book emphasizes clinical relevance by including sections that tackle the practical choice and use of drugs in patient care, as well as case studies that illustrate clinical problem-solving. This approach ensures that readers not only grasp the theoretical underpinnings of pharmacology but also learn how to apply this knowledge in real-world health care scenarios.
