This books is from the series Master Medicine and is aimed specifically for medical students. The book is designed to teach the reader about medications used for particular illnesses, their side affects, how they work and what patients should or shouldn't be prescribed them.
Unlike normal pharmacology books this is set from more of a clinical setting,therefore instead of listing the medications and side affects etc it looks at a medical condition and what drugs may be used in treating it.
The book is spilt into chapters, each looking at different areas. Topics covered include analgesics, antibiotics, cardiovascular system and drugs used in pregnancy. Throughout the chapters, there are 'clinical sketches' these are brief examples of a patient on particular medications and a problem they may have with them. They allow the reader to think about what they would do and how they would solve the surrounding issues.
The best thing I like about this book is the fact at the end of every chapter is a self assessment, which allows you to reflect on what you have learnt, making it an interactive book and an ideal revision aid.
