Integrated Pharmacology approaches pharmacology by considering drugs in the context of the diseases they are used to treat, all within a body systems framework. Drug action is lucidly explained at the molecular, cellular, tissue and organ levels. Section 1 presents the basic principles underlying pharmacology, providing a strong foundation for the systems-based chapters that follow. Each body system chapter in Section 2 addresses the common diseases affecting a system before comprehensively discussing the drugs classes and specific drugs used to treat the diseases. Integrated Pharmacology uses a superb full colour illustration programme with conceptual illustrations specifically developed to help understanding of the complex ways in which modern drugs are used to treat diseases.
