This textbook from Elsevier is an English medium (अंग्रेजी माध्यम) book on Pharmacology, written by Tara V Shanbhag and Smita Shenoy, prepared for MBBS students as per the new competency based curriculum, and also useful for BDS, nursing, pharmacy and allied health science courses. This Fifth Edition follows the order in which the curriculum teaches the subject, opening with general pharmacology — pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, routes of administration, drug interactions and adverse drug reactions — and then taking up the drugs acting on each system, with the rationale of drug therapy (चिकित्सा का तर्काधार) set out so that a student learns why a particular drug is chosen for a particular patient and not merely what it does.
