Average Rating:
 Rating: - Very concise.I would recommend this book for anyone who wants a reference that is very short and concise. It's not necessarily going to cover everything you need to know. It breaks drugs up by categories and spends about 1-2 pages on them. The first paragraph gives a background on physiology, and then the rest focuses on drug mechanisms and uses. The figures in the book are large and focus on location of action of the different drugs mentioned.
