Rang & Dale's Pharmacology

by James M. Ritter, Rod J. Flower, Graeme Henderson

Rang and Dale’s Pharmacology is internationally acknowledged as the core textbook for students of pharmacology, and has provided accessible, up-to-date information on drugs and their mechanism of action for more than 30 years. Now in its tenth edition, it has been updated to include important new drugs such as gene therapies, personalised medicines and the new wave of RNA drugs. However it has not lost any of the elements that have contributed to its popularity, such as color coding and illustrations, making it reader-friendly while comprehensively covering the depth of detail required. This essential book is recommended as the first-choice undergraduate text for science and medical students and junior doctors and will also be useful for students in other professional disciplines such as pharmacy, veterinary medicine and nursing.

If you're just embarking on your education in pharmacology I might recommend another textbook. Rang and Dale can be a bit detailed and heavy when you're just starting off. Personally, I did start learning pharmacology using Rang and Dale and I'm one of the best at pharmacology in my year level.

The diagrams explaining the mechanisms of action of drug types are very helpful. Also, information which is for historical interest is in a reduced font size which helps the reader identify important content.

I love you so much, R&D. <3

This is kind of like the idiot's guide to, but for pharmacology and with amazing pictures/drug tables/so on. Perfect for the beginner. If you need more, and (literally) have the muscle, go to Goodman and Gillman's. This is just so lovely, concise portable in comparison, considering that I only need one hand to lift this up. I don't really need to know the chemical structure of everything just yet, so I will cuddle my R&D and hope I learn something about drugs.

R&D is the kind of book you use when you know your examiner will pick on you at the exam. I had to read it because my exam was demanding.
I also read Crash course pharmacology and with 1/5 size you gain equal if not more pharmacology knowledge in less time.
The Pharmacokinetics section is probably on the better side but so long by the time you are half way through it, I can read it in Lippincott's pharmacology twice.

MUCH better than other Pharmacology books.

The best book on Pharmacology I have come across, beginning with physiological basis of the concept till drugs are discussed in details. Sometimes, details on drug (s) is little less than normal but it is still manageable. The flow of writing is natural and the views are lucid-defined.

How to survive the pharmacology aspect of my undergraduate degree.

I read this book to review pharmacy drugs for summer break. It is not very helpful in clinical applications because it does not include disease states and when or how to dose and use the medications. It goes into great detail about drug mechanisms of action and receptors in the body. If you can memorize the mechanisms of action of drugs then you should skip this book.

[Edma · Rating 4 out of 5]

very helpful and gives you understanding not only about the drugs, but also the diseases and some basic knowledge regarding the mechanisms and ways of body response to a drug (pharmaodynamics & kinetics).

So complicated but if you have a specific topic you want to tackle its still easily accesible.
If you dont have a fair background in chemstry/organic chemistry dont even bother opening it.

I don't understand how to open it

used this textbook for my MSc, and it has what you need for doing medicinal chemistry.

[Guy Ferguson]

Not read except a little on the opiates chapter. It'd be nice to think one can read everything before one expires but this book proves that is not possible.
