Bought this my first year of medical school and flipped through it once during my pharmacology course. THAT was a MISTAKE! Currently, in my second year of school, I am using this book as a fundamental class and board study resource! It is very well organized grouping drugs by class and by body system. Basic physiologic/biochem concepts are explained in each chapter so that the pharmacology of the drugs are presented in the appropriate context. This is a great book for a medical student to use as a quick reference when studying pharm!
I was a big fan of Lippincott pharmacology during my med school days, now I convinced my wife who is preparing for USMLE to buy this book. She loves it. The book is full of pictures (often hilarious) and its simple way of explaining concepts is a joy to read.Pharmacology is a dry subject to retain but this book makes it a joy to learn.
Love how the drug classes are broken down and very vivid pictures that explain the mechanism of action really well. Great supplement for any pharmacology class!
This was a recommended book for my prescriptive pharmacology class for APRNs. The book had clear & understandable explanations for the different topics. This book was helpful in passing the class!
Bought this for my pharmacology class as a supplement. Love it and love the way it is written. Pictures make it clear and easy to understand
I found it very, very helpful to use during Step 1 studying. Wish I had used for class as well.It is well-written, concise, and easy to understand. I used it to answer any pharm questions I had while studying that weren't explained clearly in First Aid, UWorld, or in class.Highly recommend.
Great as supplement for boards as puts new light on FA material. Plus has really good step style questions for each drug class (not alot but still good ones to keep the ever forgetful pharm stuff somewhat refreshed :p )
First year med student. School recommends Katzung, but I prefer LIR because the explanations are easier to understand and, as the name of the book implies, it has a lot of illustrations! When you're learning about pathways and mechanisms, it's easier to learn by having illustrations.
