This textbook from CBS Publishers & Distributors Pvt Ltd is an English medium (अंग्रेजी माध्यम) book on Pharmacology, written by Padmaja Udaykumar, prepared for pharmacy students as per the latest syllabus prescribed by the Pharmacy Council of India (PCI), and also useful for nursing and other allied health science students. This Second Edition is written to the pharmacy course rather than the medical one — the depth and emphasis are set by what a pharmacist must know to dispense, counsel and monitor therapy — and every drug group follows the same fixed order of classification, mechanism of action, pharmacological actions, pharmacokinetics, therapeutic uses, adverse effects (प्रतिकूल प्रभाव), interactions and contraindications, in the plain student-facing style the author is known for. The book covers general pharmacology with pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, routes of administration, drug interactions and adverse drug reactions; drugs acting on the autonomic nervous system; the central nervous system including general and local anaesthetics, sedatives, hypnotics, antiepileptics, antipsychotics, antidepressants and opioid analgesics; autacoids and NSAIDs; cardiovascular drugs including antihypertensives, antianginals, antiarrhythmics and heart failure drugs; diuretics; drugs acting on blood; respiratory and gastrointestinal pharmacology; endocrine pharmacology including insulin, oral antidiabetics, corticosteroids and thyroid drugs; chemotherapy of infections and malignancy with antibiotics, antitubercular, antimalarial, antifungal, antiviral and anticancer drugs; immunopharmacology and vaccines; and toxicology with the management of common poisonings. Its distinguishing feature is this PCI-syllabus-matched treatment supported by diagrams, flowcharts, comparison tables and chapter-end questions for revision. All content, terminology and explanations in this book are presented in the English language only.
