All the main concepts from the landmark Pharmacotherapy: A Pathophysiologic Approach—distilled down to a concise, clinically focused, full-color resource

Providing a solid evidence-based approach, Pharmacotherapy Principles & Practice explains how to design, implement, monitor, and evaluate medication therapy. You’ll gain an in-depth understanding of the underlying principles of the pharmacotherapy of disease-and their practical application.
