Medical Pharmacology is the thoroughly revised, enlarged and updated edition of the popular textbook. The book retains its simplicity, lucidity and clarity of writing—the hallmark features well appreciated by the medical students as well as the teachers. The textbook covers all the topics as per the latest CBME Guidelines | Competency Based Undergraduate Curriculum for the Indian Medical Graduate prescribed by Medical Council of India (now structured as National Medical Commission). Besides being the ‘must read’ for undergraduate medical students, the text also caters to the needs of the candidates preparing for postgraduate entrance and other competitive examinations. Students and teachers of dental sciences, pharmacy, nursing and other paramedical courses will find it particularly useful just like the other editions.
