This review book from McGraw Hill under the LANGE series is an English medium (अंग्रेजी माध्यम) book on Pharmacology, written by Marieke Kruidering-Hall, Bertram G. Katzung, Rupa Lalchandani Tuan and Todd W. Vanderah, prepared for medical students preparing for course examinations and board-style tests, and widely used by MBBS students, USMLE Step 1 candidates and postgraduate entrance aspirants, as well as by dental, nursing and pharmacy students. The book is built for revision rather than first reading — each chapter opens with learning objectives and a list of high-yield terms, compresses the essential content into concise text with tables and diagrams, and closes with skill keeper questions, practice questions with fully explained answers and a checklist of what the student should now be able to do, so that reading and self-testing happen in the same pass. The book covers general principles including pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, receptors and drug metabolism; autonomic drugs; cardiovascular and renal drugs including antihypertensives, drugs for angina and heart failure, antiarrhythmics and diuretics; drugs acting on smooth muscle; central nervous system drugs including sedative-hypnotics, antiseizure drugs, general and local anaesthetics, antipsychotics, antidepressants, opioid analgesics and drugs of abuse; drugs with important actions on blood, inflammation and gout; endocrine drugs; chemotherapeutic drugs covering antibacterial, antimycobacterial, antifungal, antiviral, antiprotozoal, anthelmintic and anticancer agents; immunopharmacology; and toxicology with the management of poisoning (विषाक्तता प्रबंधन). Its distinguishing feature is the complete self-assessment package, including full-length practice examinations that mirror the board format. All content, terminology and explanations in this book are presented in the English language only.
