Good and fun

There are some bad reviews for this book. I find it a good start for anyone interested in the field or anyone who thinks they are interested.
One bad review is talking about the wording. You would think that person was reading The Great Gatsby. If you are looking for an exciting book full of rich descriptions then you should read Harry Potter. If you want to learn about science and not literature, this book might be for you!

Overall a very decent review of Pharmacology

Any additional comments?

For people not too familiar with the subject of Pharmacology, this provides a good base to start from. Who knows, maybe you'll fall in love the field which is very interesting indeed!

Consistent Mispronunciation of Drug Names

I hate to leave a negative review but the truth may lead to a better product in the future.

Ive been a pharmacist for 10 years and I just wanted a review. I was able to last about 5 hours until I could not handle the mispronunciations any more. I feel bad for the students who will be hearing these drug names for the first time. I hope they don't get blank stares during rounds.

Compact review for students

As with the rest of the series the primary audience is med students. Thus the presentation concisely covers commonly used drugs used to treat various medical conditions, the mechanism of action and contraindications.

For those who are not medical students: the authors assume you already have background knowledge in chemistry and anatomy. The information is for individuals who will be prescribing these medications regularly. Essentially this translates to the book containing all the information that comes on those little papers packaged with your medication that you usually throw away.

A must have for pharmacy students

I listen to this repeatedly. It helps me memorize key concepts and drug properties. I love the second half of the book where each drug is explained.

Robotic voice, chapters aren't labeled.

This audiobook does not provide headings for chapter selection and is presented in a robot voice. Hard to listen to while doing other things bc of the monotone robot voice.

Very useful and beautiful.

It's clear and concise. You can listen without noticing you're retaining the information. It helped me a lot.

To much is given , much is expected

The products created by AudioLearn are top notched. However, it is impossible for lectures in a traditional college setting just to lecture their with out providing their students with the necessary PowerPoints for the students to have or Textbooks for their students to purchase. So, Audio lectures alone without physical content to engage with is not adequate enough to allow students to succeed.

As a student in graduate school, I appeal to the leadership of Audio Learn to make accessible the contents needed for every student to fully learn and to become successful.

Thank you for considering.

not helpful

if I were to write a book based on "what everyone has already been told" and then distill it down to be so basic as to be functionally useless, this would be it.

Not very useful

It has neither table of contents nor accompanying pdf. It's not very useful for studying
