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 guidelines for the CBME Curriculum 2024, and also useful for BDS, nursing, pharmacy and allied health science courses. This Sixth Edition builds the subject in the order the curriculum teaches it, moving from general pharmacology — pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, routes of administration, drug interactions and adverse drug reactions — to the drugs acting on each system, with the rationale of therapy (चिकित्सा का तर्काधार) explained so that a student learns why a drug is chosen and not only what it does. The book covers the autonomic nervous system, autacoids and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, the cardiovascular system including antihypertensives, antianginal, antiarrhythmic and heart failure drugs, diuretics, drugs acting on blood and the coagulation system, the respiratory and gastrointestinal systems, the central nervous system with general and local anaesthetics, sedatives, antiepileptics, antipsychotics, antidepressants and opioid analgesics, endocrine pharmacology including insulin and oral antidiabetics, corticosteroids and thyroid drugs, chemotherapy of infections with antibiotics, antitubercular, antimalarial, antifungal, antiviral and anticancer drugs, immunopharmacology, and toxicology with the treatment of common poisonings. Its distinguishing feature is the teaching support built for the competency-based course — 240+ diagrams that clarify complex concepts, topic-wise essential key points for quick revision, and chapter-wise case studies that connect the drug to the patient. All content, terminology and explanations in this book are presented in the English language only.
