From the Back Cover

Errors in calculating drug dosages can be a significant cause of harm to patients, particularly neonates, infants and small children. Pharmacists are generally regarded as being proficient at this task and are seen as a 'safety net' by their fellow healthcare professionals. However, evidence suggests that pharmacists also have difficulty with drug calculations and that many pharmacy students struggle with relatively simple pharmaceutical calculations. Introduction to Pharmaceutical Calculations is an excellent introduction to this vital subject. With a wealth of worked examples, and sample questions and answers, this book is essential reading for pharmacy and other healthcare students. Judith A Rees is a senior lecturer, School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Manchester.
