Pharmacology for Dental and Allied Health Sciences, 5/E for BDS and Allied Health Students | Revised Drug Reference with Mnemonics, Flowcharts and Comparative Tables plus Dedicated Dentistry Notes

Pharmacology for Dental and Allied Health Sciences , now in its fifth edition, is a student-friendly pharmacology text written for the dental and allied health curriculum. It presents drug groups in simple, systematic language, moving from basic principles to the drugs a dental practitioner actually prescribes and encounters. This edition is thoroughly revised and completely updated, with the text revised in many places on the basis of reviews by subject experts. Mnemonics have been added to aid recall, and more flowcharts, tables and figures have been added to explain every mechanism of action. The book runs to 46 chapters organised into sections on general pharmacology, autonomic nervous system drugs, drugs acting on the kidney, cardiovascular system drugs, central nervous system drugs, autacoids, drugs acting on blood, drugs used in gastrointestinal disorders, and chemotherapy and antimicrobials. Dentistry-specific material runs throughout, including sections such as diuretics and dentistry and drug interactions relevant to dental procedures, together with anaesthetics, analgesics, antibiotics and sedatives used in dental practice. Who This Book Is For: BDS students: the primary readership, using it as the pharmacology course text in the second year of the dental programme and for the university theory and viva examinations. Allied health science students: as an accessible pharmacology reference sized to the depth their courses require. Why This Book Helps: Sized to the dental syllabus: depth is pitched for BDS and allied health courses rather than the full medical pharmacology load. Builds recall: added mnemonics and comparative tables make drug groups, doses and adverse effects easier to memorise for examinations. Explains mechanisms visually: flowcharts and figures for every mechanism of action turn abstract pathways into a picture. Keeps the dental context in view: dedicated notes on drugs and drug interactions that matter during dental treatment support safe prescribing. Key Features: 46 chapters spanning general pharmacology through the autonomic, cardiovascular, renal and central nervous systems to chemotherapy and antimicrobials. Thoroughly revised and updated text, revised in many places on the basis of expert review. Mnemonics added throughout to aid recall of drug groups and their properties. Added flowcharts, comparative tables and figures explaining every mechanism of action. Dentistry-focused drug sections and drug-interaction notes for common dental procedures.
