Summary: Amazing
Rating: 5
This book is the best pharmacology book I have ever read. It helped me put everything into perspective! It’s a must have for any medical or pharmacy student!
Summary: Good book to have…
Rating: 5
I am currently taking pharmacology, and this book compliments the course very well. If you worried about how in-depth this book goes, don’t be. Almost everything we have talked about in class has been discussed in the BRS for Pharmacology. If it wasn’t, then I can consult an online book through our library or simply google a topic.
Cheap book for sufficient and effective learning.
Summary: thorough & well written
Rating: 4
I am using this book to study Pharm in med school. It is organized well and fairly easy to read. It also has good organizational charts and important sidelights that help you retain what’s important. I’d recommend this if you are a med student who is looking for an alternative to a traditional textbook. I also recommend using flashcards as an add-on studying tool.
Summary: Excellent

I like the book so far. Its is compact yet readable. If you have used Lippincott for Biochemistry this book is similar in size, and has a similar layout as the Bichem book. If you attend SMU I recommend also ordering Katzung Board review for practice questions as Dr.K and Dr.G will recommend that you purchase it.
Summary: a very punctual description of the most important drugs
Rating: 4
it was a very good book although there are too many things that are missing. but it’s good if you have to look after a drug very quickly. the drugs description is very punctual and with a brief phrase of what they do. I really like it. and the delivery was very quick. thank you for all.
