Organized to reflect the syllabi in many pharmacology courses and in integrated curricula, Basic & Clinical Pharmacology, Fourteenth Edition covers the important concepts students need to know about the science of pharmacology and its application to clinical practice.

this is the textbook for pharmacology that was prescribed by our lecturers when i first entered medical school. they recommended it simply because the book is the best in its class for the moment, they say it's complete and so i bought one. and i agree it is indeed complete, it's a very good reference book. and is a very helpful companion when it comes to do your-homework-time, because my lecturers use this book as their reference and generate every question directly from the text in it. so what i do is to copy every single alphabets, word by word, i don't even use my brain to copy. what i want is just to get all the tutorial questions done so i can focus on other subjects. like pathology.

my problem is i find this book quite complicated. it's hard for me to understand the text. seriously. when it comes to revision times, katzung is nothing but a good pillow to me and i will switch to other pharmacology books available. anything with more diagrams, anything with simpler explanation or anything not as detailed as katzung will do.

anyway, it's not a bad book, it's just way too complicated for MY brain to deal with.

One of the top Pharmacology books ever written. I really like how the authors explain & diagrammize different topics in the book. Makes learning easy.

I really, really need to read this again. My life is drugs, and not understanding them is not to not fully understand the weapons in my arsenal. Read it back in Med School, need to read it again. Wish I had a Pharm-D.

Pharmacology is one of the hardest subjects in medical school. I think that it is crucial for those of use learning this subject to have an easy-to-understand format and way of writing for the concepts.

I like this book for its simplicity. It is comprehensible enough for beginners without compromising the necessary information that we have to learn. I also find the tables and figures helpful. I think that I would have appreciated this more if I were a pharmacology student in college. Sadly, this was only an adjunct to our main reference book, Goodman & Gilman. I read this only when I am done reading the latter.

understanding the best fit medicine is very important because every body may have different respond to the same medication (pharmacogenetic).
