Pharmacotherapy Principles and Practice, Sixth Edition

 

All the main concepts from the landmark Pharmacotherapy: A Pathophysiologic Approach—distilled down to a concise, clinically focused, full-color resource 

Providing a solid evidence-based approach, Pharmacotherapy Principles & Practice explains how to design, implement, monitor, and evaluate medication therapy. You’ll gain an in-depth understanding of the underlying principles of the pharmacotherapy of disease―and their practical application. 

Pharmacotherapy Principles & Practice includes chapters on geriatrics, pediatrics, and palliative care. Each of the subsequent disease-based chapters covers disease epidemiology, etiology, pathophysiology, clinical presentation and diagnosis, nonpharmacologic therapy, followed by therapeutic recommendations for medication selection, desired outcomes, dosing, and patient monitoring.
