As you know, there can be down time on the wards. Book fits easily into white coat pocket. Answers the questions you want to know: differences between drugs within classes; common and important adverse reactions; when to use one antibiotic over another.Very happy with this book. Thank you Gallagher.
Great book which entirely lives up to the title. This book makes learning antibiotics a breeze. Antibiotics are some of the hardest drugs to learn, at least they were for me and I read through this book and felt much more confident going into my pharmacology exam. This book was only recommended for my course and I am glad I bought it and studied it. Easy to read and understand and it wasn't too terribly lengthy. The book is organized based upon classes of antibiotics and then goes into details on the specifics and what each is used to treat. It breaks the treatment into Great for, okay for and not good for so that you can sort of organize them in your head. Overall, great read and I feel that this book is a must have for any pharmacy class that requires and in depth knowledge of antibiotics.
I'm understanding antibiotics much better thanks to this book. I have a paperback copy and the kindle version.Problems with the kindle app/ version.1) The index is useless. Chapter 2 and one letter?? And you can't go to the chapter from the index. Very bad for a wiring reference2) there is a weird quirk where a number 5 is substituted for an =. Example mic 5 2 .I would love to be able to use this as a work reference, but the index problem prohibits this.
"Antibiotics Simplified," takes the complex world of antibiotics and breaks it down into easy to understand concepts and sections. I highly recommend this book as a study aid for pharmacy students and other pupils in the medical field.
This book was recommended to me by different pharmacists in all walks of life from my community pharmacist, clinical preceptor, pharmacy residents, and other students from other schools. I wish this had been recommended to me when I took Infectious Disease in school. All the information is given just like the title says - Simplified. Even though it's simplified, it's not missing information! Highly recommended. I would've done so much better in on my exams had I had this to review with. I'm definitely going to use this to prepare for my clinical rotations!
I am a first year resident. I never really felt like I got a solid grip on "bugs and drugs" in medical school so I bought this book to brush up before taking my Step 3 exam. While it's far from an exhaustive reference, I found it really helpful for review. It's also fairly readable and does a good job of explaining basic concepts and highlighting "pearls" that often come up in exams and clinical situations. I found it helpful for exam prep and will continue to refer to it to refresh my memory. I would definitely recommend it to medical students or residents.
This book covers a great deal of territory very quickly. Dense, but very readable, text with well explained rationales for antibiotic therapies. The rest of the book gives great overviews of individual agents followed by concise, high-yield summary of agents.
Well written broad overview of antimicrobial therapy. Exactly what was described and what I was looking for. I recommend this book to any pharmacy student like myself looking to gain a conceptual overview of infectious disease chemotherapy.
