RAPID REVIEW OF PHARMACOLOGY (2)

Mosby (Elsevier)

The text provides rapid, organized summaries of pharmacologic agents, emphasizing key concepts such as receptor agonism, pharmacokinetic interactions, and toxicity. It includes detailed sections on beta‑adrenergic agonists, methylxanthines, and emergency drugs like epinephrine. Clinical pearls highlight special population considerations, notably the increased risk of asthma‑related deaths among African Americans with long‑acting beta‑agonists. Drug‑enzyme interactions affecting theophylline metabolism are outlined, and a comprehensive toxicology index lists agents and their clinical implications. The book serves as a quick reference for both exam preparation and bedside decision‑making.
