Pathology and Therapeutics for Pharmacists

A basis for clinical pharmacy practice

Greene, Russell J; Harris, Norman D

Third edition

Russell J Greene - Senior Lecturer in Clinical Pharmacy and Norman D Harris - Emeritus Reader in Pharmaceutics (Clinical Pharmacy)

This edition has been completely revised and updated to reflect advances in therapeutic practice and the understanding of many disease states.

Pathology and Therapeutics for Pharmacists was the first text to take an integrated approach to the pathophysiological and pharmacotherapeutic principles underlying the treatment of disease, and was based on many years experience of teaching one of the pioneering clinical pharmacy courses in the UK.

Recent references and an updated reading list have been included along with the use of Recommended International Non-proprietary Names (rINN) for drug nomenclature.

Read extensively worldwide, Pathology and Therapeutics for Pharmacists is an essential textbook for pharmacists but will also be of interest outside the confines of pharmacy, reflecting the integrated nature of modern healthcare.
