Clinical Pharmacology

Clinical pharmacology translates pharmacologic science into effective and safe patient care decisions. This book explains pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in clinically relevant terms, then applies those principles to dosing, therapeutic drug monitoring, and management of adverse reactions. Drug–drug and drug–disease interactions receive focused treatment with practical mitigation strategies. Chapters cover the lifecycle of medicines — from clinical trials to post-marketing surveillance — and include guidance on prescribing in special populations (renal/hepatic impairment, pregnancy). Useful tables, dosing algorithms, and problem-based scenarios make it a practical desk reference for clinicians and pharmacists.
