This companion book from CBS Publishers & Distributors Pvt Ltd is an English medium (अंग्रेजी माध्यम) book on Pharmacology, written by Padmaja Udaykumar, prepared for MBBS students revising for their pharmacology examination and viva, and also useful for BDS, nursing, pharmacy and allied health science students. It is written to sit alongside the full textbook rather than replace it — the same drug groups in the same order, but compressed into classifications, key points and quick revision notes (त्वरित पुनरावृत्ति), so that a student who has read the subject once can go over the whole of it again in a fraction of the time before an examination. The book covers general pharmacology with pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, routes of administration and adverse drug reactions; autonomic nervous system drugs; autacoids and NSAIDs; cardiovascular drugs including antihypertensives, antianginals, antiarrhythmics and heart failure drugs; diuretics; drugs acting on blood; respiratory and gastrointestinal pharmacology; central nervous system drugs including anaesthetics, sedatives, antiepileptics, antipsychotics, antidepressants and opioid analgesics; endocrine pharmacology; chemotherapy of infections and malignancy; immunopharmacology; and toxicology with the management of poisoning and their antidotes. Its distinguishing feature is this compressed, revision-first design — classifications set out group by group, comparison tables that place similar drugs side by side, flowcharts for mechanisms, and key points that carry the facts most often asked in the written paper and at the viva table. All content, terminology and explanations in this book are presented in the English language only.
