This exam-oriented manual from CBS Publishers & Distributors Pvt Ltd is an English medium (अंग्रेजी माध्यम) book on Pharmacology, written by Yogesh Gulati and Sumit Verma as part of the Passing MBBS Series, prepared for MBBS undergraduates preparing for their pharmacology examination, and also useful for BDS, nursing, pharmacy and allied health science students. The book is written to overcome the "pharmaco phobia" that undergraduates commonly feel about the subject — drug groups are approached through concept-based learning in a simplified form, so that a student understands the logic of a class rather than memorising isolated drug names, and each topic is presented in the length and shape that an examination answer actually requires. Brought out as the first fully coloured exam-oriented manual on pharmacology, it covers general pharmacology with pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, routes of administration and adverse drug reactions; the autonomic nervous system; autacoids and NSAIDs; cardiovascular drugs including antihypertensives, antianginals, antiarrhythmics and heart failure drugs; diuretics; drugs acting on blood; respiratory and gastrointestinal pharmacology; the central nervous system with anaesthetics, sedatives, antiepileptics, antipsychotics, antidepressants and opioid analgesics; endocrine pharmacology; chemotherapy of infections and malignancy; and toxicology with the management of common poisonings, along with the rationale of drug therapy (चिकित्सा का तर्काधार) for each group. Its distinguishing feature is the complete examination package built chapter by chapter — CBME theory-oriented questions, viva voce (मौखिक परीक्षा) orientation, MCQs and an OSPE guide. All content, terminology and explanations in this book are presented in the English language only.
