Great Book for Learning Pharmacology

This is a great book and must have if you’re a student taking Pharmacology. I was a bit overwhelmed by the thought of taking the course, but this book very well breaks down the drugs and makes connections for you to better memorize the mass amounts of them. I loved that Dr. Guerra breaks down the prefix, infix, suffixes, and roots of each drug and clusters together similar ones to help you better grasps them and truly understand. There are also practice quizzes for each chapter, which I found to be helpful! This book provides a great base knowledge and aides in recognizing many drugs which is helpful for any medical career. It is very clear and to the point. I loved the audio version as well as it allows you to hear the correct pronunciation of the drugs, which gets tricky most of the time.

Great for Pharmacology!

I have really enjoyed using this book for my pharmacology course. It explains everything in detail and helps a lot with the pronunciation of medicines. I think this book does a good job of explaining medications and their uses clearly and in a way that the average person can understand. It is definitely helping me do better in my course because it helps me memorize the different medication and their uses, mostly with the mnemonic devices! I definitely recommend this for anybody who is studying pharmacology right now.
