What This Book is About?

This 734-pages book published by the McGraw-Hill Medical (1st edition, on February 14, 2011) provides answers to these:
1) What kind of best-prescribed drugs are available for treatment of what kind of diseases?
2) How do the chosen drugs generate their therapeutic benefits?
3) What are the advantages and disadvantages of each selected drug (side effects)? and
4) What kind of other drugs (be it a prescription drug, an over-the-counter drug, an herbal remedy, or a vitamin) should be avoided in combination to steer clear of a detrimental or even a fatal consequence?

Unique Feature of This Book:

Unlike traditional pharmacology textbooks wherein drugs are sorted under a bio-system to explain (such as cardiovascular system, renal system, and endocrine system), this book is specific disease-based (such as high blood pressure, kidney stone, and diabetes) to discourse on the above parameters. As the curricular trend in the US medical schools is now headed toward integrated one, wherein all the relevant information from different disciplines are merged into resolving a particular illness, this book will best serve those medical students under the Integrated Curriculum, and those post-graduate physicians in their practices, especially in the fields of the Internal Medicine and the Family Medicine.
