DESCRIPTION:
Are your exams coming up? Are you drowning in textbooks and lecture notes and wondering where to begin? Take the FASTtrack route to successful study for your examinations. FASTtrack provides the ultimate lecture notes and is a must-have for all pharmacy students wanting to study and test themselves for forthcoming exams.
FASTtrack: Pharmacology aims to provide a brief account of drug action, as a study and revision aid. In doing this, the authors have generally taken a therapeutic area and considered the major classes of drugs, their actions and, to a limited degree, their uses.
There are many excellent brief guides to pharmacology and so their second aim is to present a study guide which deals with molecular pharmacology at a more advanced level, so that the book is also useful for advanced pharmacology studied in the later years of pharmacy and science degrees. This study guide is therefore useful at each level of undergraduate study.
New in this edition:
- Each chapter completely updated to take account of recent changes, and include future drugs
- Multiple choice tests
- New chapters on immunopharmacology, oral contraceptives and local anaesthetics
- Greater use of summary tables.
FASTtrack: Pharmacology is also available as an ebook.

REVIEWS:
May 2013, Doody's Notes
"This book is intended to enhance material covered in traditional pharmacology textbooks...
...Visuals, algorithms, diagrams, and key points interspersed throughout the book help reinforce and summarize the material. Readers will be able to assess their understanding of the material through self-assessment questions at the conclusion of each chapter...
...Undergraduate pharmacy students, as well as other healthcare students, will find this a useful guide to help prepare for examinations."
Neela A. Bhajandas, PharmD, Doody's Notes, May 2013
June 2012, British Journal of Pharmacology
"The book provides good basic knowledge of pharmacology and is well organized, with sections on principles, followed by sections on the drugs used to treat different therapeutic areas...
...Overall the authors have generally obtained a good balance of core information that is accessible, without it being a textbook in disguise!...
...Whilst this book is aimed primarily at Pharmacists, I am sure it would also be of value as a revision aid for Medical students...
...my own daughter who is a 4th year Medical student said she would buy it, an endorsement indeed!"
Professor Clive Page, British Journal of Pharmacology, June 2012
