The new sixth edition of this popular text has been extensively revised and includes seven new chapters on atrial fibrillation, chronic asthma, chronic pain, sepsis in adults, sepsis in children, deprescribing and supporting adherence. The use of self-study questions and answers to accompany each case helps to challenge you to consider the many options often available when drug-therapy decisions are made. Whenever appropriate, the patient journey is followed across primary and secondary care, reflecting the fact that many chronic conditions are now managed predominantly in primary care. Optimising medicines to ensure only what is needed and what is acceptable to the patient is prescribed is a significant challenge for newly qualified healthcare professionals. This book demonstrates how to apply the knowledge and skills acquired from pharmacology texts and formal learning. It is a valuable resource not only for students, but also for pharmacists and new prescribers.

The aim of applying pharmacokinetic principles is to individualise the dose of drug, and optimise the outcome achieved in each patient. <br>Its application reduces the chance of under-treatment, inadvertent poisoning and dose related adverse effects. <br>CONTENTS:<br><br> 1.

Based upon the many thousands of published clinical papers and reports, it provides a series of detailed, yet concise, monographs designed for quick and easy reference. <br>Each monograph contains a summary, clinical evidence for the interaction under discussion, its probable mechanism, clinical importance, and management.<br> <br> <br> <br>INTERACTIONS CHECKER:<br><br> Stockley's Drug Interactions and the Stockley's Interactions Checker - a handy comparison <br>We've received some questions from users recently asking about the differences between Stockley's Drug Interactions and the Stockley's Interactions Checker , and why information contained in the Checker is not always found in Stockley's Drug Interactions . For all our Stockley's users, here are the answers: <br> What are the main differences between the products? <br>The Stockley's Interactions Checker provides healthcare professionals with a quick way to check for potential drug interactions. It gives a fast ready-reference to whether drugs can safely be taken together, and provides brief advice on how to manage the interaction. <br> Stockley's Drug Interactions provides concise, accurate, and detailed clinically relevant information on individual and related drug interactions in the form of monographs. Each monograph covers clinical evidence, mechanism, importance and management. It is based on all available published sources and is fully referenced. <br> Why is it that sometimes, interactions information in the Checker does not appear in Stockley's Drug Interactions? <br>The vast majority of messages in the Checker are derived from the monographs in Stockley's Drug Interactions , and currently, the interactions content in the Checker is updated on a monthly basis. <br> Stockley's Drug Interactions is updated quarterly, giving more time to review all the literature and revise the full monograph. So, when information is updated for the Checker it will not appear in Stockley's Drug Interactions until the full monograph is revised. For example, information that is updated in the Checker first might relate to a new drug, a new safety update from the MHRA or FDA, or a new dose adjustment. <br> Which Interactions resource should I use? <br><br> - If you need a quick answer to your interactions query, use the Stockley's Interactions Checker. If you require more detail or an understanding of why an interactions occurs, use Stockley's Drug Interactions.

Studies in health services research examine outcomes at the individual, family, organizational, institutional, community, and population level. HSR studies examine how people get access to health care, how much care costs, and what happens to patients as a result of this care. The primary goals of HSR are to identify the most effective ways to organize, manage, finance, and deliver high quality care, reduce medical errors and improve patient safety. <br>Pharmaceutical health services research incorporates pharmacoeconomics, health economics, finance, health outcomes, health planning and policy analysis, technology assessment and pharmacoepidemiology. The Journal welcomes papers on cost-benefit and cost-effectiveness studies, and the financial implications and political outcomes of drug policy. <br> <br> </p>

The first part of the book covers physico-chemical principles and highlights the importance of designing dosage forms that contain the appropriate dose, are stable, palatable, easily used by the patient and release drugs in a predictable fashion for absorption. The second part applies these formulation principles to the design of dosage forms used by each route of administration. <br>Each chapter advises on both the science of the delivery mechanism and appropriate use of that delivery system including patient counselling points. Each chapter features: <br> - Learning objectives <br> - Key points boxes <br> - Drug examples<br> - Illustrations<br> - Assessment questions<br> - Further reading and references<br>Shelley Chambers Fox is a registered pharmacist with experience in pharmacy practice as well as academia. Written for students who aspire to be practicing pharmacists the author has included numerous case studies and self assessment questions to enable the key concepts to be grasped more readily, while illustrating how the science can be applied to practice to make sure that drugs offer the intended benefit to the patient. <br>Read our interview with the author . <br>Remington Education: Pharmaceutics is also available as an eBook . <br>CONTENTS:<br><br>1.

With the focus on medicinal drugs, the most important safety issues of drugs are covered. This includes registration requirements of new drugs and pharmacovigilance. After a general introduction and a number of chapters on basic toxicological principles, organ toxicity of drugs is illustrated by chapters on toxicity in the liver, in the kidney, in the respiratory system and in the immune system. This book combines a broad treatment of the issues relevant for assessing the safety/efficacy balance of a new drug with information on the toxicological knowledge base and methodology. <br>Toxicology studies are carried out on all drug substances to ensure safety. This is an introductory text for students at BSc, MSc and PhD levels, and will be an excellent companion to pharmacology textbooks. <br> <br>CONTENTS:<br><br> 1. General Toxicology<br> 2.

There is a strong focus on drug choice so that the reader can appreciate the rationale behind logical prescribing... <br>...drug interactions represent an important therapeutic challenge and attempts have been made to highlight important examples and how they may be overcome... <br>...The book will be of greatest value to pharmacy students in the latter part of their courses and to preregistration graduates undertaking their clinical practice." <br> Laurence A. Goldberg, The Pharmaceutical Journal, 12 October 2016 <br> <br> From the reviews of the previous edition <br>"...it is crucial to maintain your knowledge of pharmacology throughout the pre-registration year and beyond. Knowing your muscarinic receptor from your adrenoceptor will prove hugely beneficial as you prepare for the registration assessment as you won’t need to memorise endless lists of interactions... <br>...the authors do not provide overwhelming detail, but offer the clinical reasoning behind interactions and potential consequences for the patient. The chapter concludes with some punchy practice points which help consolidate the readers learning... <br>...certainly a worthy investment for the pre-registration trainee. It bridges the gap between core scientific principles and clinical practice with ease." <br> Daniel Greenwood, Pharmacist and PhD candidate, University of Manchester, BPSA Graduate Link, Autumn 2015<br> <br>"This is a worthy training tool for pharmacy students to apply what they've learned in the classroom to practical situations for management of patients. This is a nice supplement, it is easy to follow and has appropriate references to support the information outlined in the book" <br> Barbara Lane Giacomelli, PharmD, MBA, BS, Doody's Notes, 5 April 2009<br> <br>"Excellent book to introduce applied pharmacotherapy concepts. Very well written and very simplified. Not all disease states included but great place to start." <br>Five stars. <br> Amazon.com <br> </p>
