This preparation manual from Paras Medical Publisher is an English medium (अंग्रेजी माध्यम) book on Pharmacology, written by Harsh Joshi with a foreword by KK Sharma and HL Sharma, prepared for MBBS students preparing for their pharmacology examination and for competitive examinations, and also useful for BDS, nursing, pharmacy and allied health science students. This Second Edition is written entirely in question and answer format and aligned with the CBME curriculum, covering a wide spectrum of topics — so that a student reads the subject in exactly the shape the paper demands, with long answer questions (LAQs), short answer questions (SAQs), viva voce (मौखिक परीक्षा) questions and applied pharmacology (अनुप्रयुक्त औषध विज्ञान) all in one volume. The book carries newer drugs and updated guidelines across general pharmacology, 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. Its distinguishing feature is the completeness of its examination support — clinical case scenarios, full definitions and explanations, flowcharts and mnemonics that make the answers easier to recall under examination conditions. All content, terminology and explanations in this book are presented in the English language only.
