Synopsis

The aim of this work is not only to describe what drugs do, but to emphasize the mechanisms by which they act - where possible at the cellular and molecular level. Therapeutic agents have a high rate of obsolescence and many new ones are introduced each year; an appreciation of the mechanisms of action of the class of drugs to which a new agent belongs provides a starting point for understanding and using intelligently.

Review

"Rang & Dale are now due more praise for their new improved version of Pharmacology. As before the writing is excellent and surely undergraduates can master a subject when it is explained so lucidly and with evident enthusiasm. As a comprehensive textbook for pharmacy or pharmacology students it has few rivals. As a guide to help continuing education in modern pharmacology it should be both useful and enjoyable." British Journal of Hospital Medicine
