Pharmacology concerns all practitioners of medicine and is essentially the science of drugs. It calls for the use of techniques from many other fields, such as biochemistry, statistics, and epidemiology, and can therefore prove to be a challenging subject.

Introducing Pharmacology has been specially written for nursing and healthcare professionals, both trainees and qualified practitioners. The book provides an easy to understand introduction to Pharmacology that nursing and healthcare professionals will find relevant from the beginning of clinical training at the hospital, and afterwards in medical practice.
