This practical manual from Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers is an English medium (अंग्रेजी माध्यम) book on Pharmacology, written by Dinesh Badyal, prepared for MBBS students as per the Competency-based Medical Education Curriculum of the NMC, and also useful for BDS, nursing, pharmacy and allied health science students. The manual is arranged competency by competency rather than chapter by chapter, so that every exercise a student performs in the practical class maps to a competency the curriculum requires to be certified — the skill is stated, the exercise is set out step by step, and the assessment method that goes with it is made clear. The book covers prescription writing and the rational use of drugs, prescription audit and identification of prescribing errors, identification of drugs and dosage forms, calculation of doses (मात्रा गणना) including paediatric doses, routes of administration and injection techniques, reading and interpretation of drug labels and package inserts, P-drug selection and the concept of essential medicines, case-based therapeutic exercises where a drug choice must be justified for a given patient, adverse drug reaction reporting and pharmacovigilance forms, critical appraisal of drug promotional literature, communication and counselling skills for prescribing, and the basics of clinical trials and drug information sources. Its distinguishing feature is this examination-ready design — objective structured practical examination (OSPE) stations and viva voce (मौखिक परीक्षा) questions given alongside the exercises, so the practical and the oral are prepared together. All content, terminology and explanations in this book are presented in the English language only.
