This textbook from Wolters Kluwer is an English medium (अंग्रेजी माध्यम) book on Pharmacology, written by Jagadish Prasad, prepared for MBBS students studying pharmacology, and also useful for BDS, nursing, pharmacy and allied health science courses. This Second Edition follows the order in which the subject is taught and keeps every drug group to the same fixed pattern — classification, mechanism of action, pharmacological actions, pharmacokinetics, therapeutic uses, adverse effects (प्रतिकूल प्रभाव), interactions and contraindications — so that a student learns one framework and applies it to each class, which is what makes writing a complete long-answer straightforward under examination conditions. The book covers general pharmacology with pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, routes of administration, drug interactions and adverse drug reactions; 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 general and local anaesthetics, sedatives, antiepileptics, antipsychotics, antidepressants and opioid analgesics; 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 toxicology with the management of common poisonings. Its distinguishing feature is the clinical orientation carried through the text — the therapeutic use of each group explained in the context of the condition it treats, supported by diagrams, flowcharts and comparison tables for rapid revision. All content, terminology and explanations in this book are presented in the English language only.
