Practical Pharmacology, 6/E for MBBS 2nd Year Students | CBME-Based Practical and Viva Guide with Prescription Writing, ADR Reporting, Dose Calculations, OSPE and Medical Ethics

Practical Pharmacology, 6th Edition is a CBME-aligned practical and viva companion built to the National Medical Commission's Competency Based Medical Education curriculum for Pharmacology. Concepts are delivered in a bite-sized, exam-focused format rather than as dense theory, keeping the pace suited to practical-exam and last-minute revision use. Eighteen chapters take you from routes of administration and oral/topical/parenteral dosage forms, through ORS preparation for diarrhea management, dosage calculations in special populations, pharmacy preparations (mixtures, lotions, powders, ointments), and a large Clinical Pharmacology Section of fully solved, case-based prescription-writing exercises across systems including cardiovascular, CNS, endocrine, respiratory, GI, and antibiotics. Later chapters cover critical appraisal of prescriptions, adverse drug reaction (ADR) reporting, P-drug selection, essential medicines, fixed dose combinations, experimental pharmacology, communication of prescriptions, pharmacoeconomics, medical ethics, and OSPE (Objective Structured Practical Examination) technique demonstrations. Each solved case follows a consistent, exam-ready format: patient scenario, Rx with drug/dose/duration, non-pharmacological treatment, follow-up plan, dispense instructions, and a bulleted "Important points" section covering alternative drugs and dosing cautions - the same structure examiners expect at the practical table. Who This Book Is For: MBBS 2nd Year (Second Professional) Students: the year in which Pharmacology practicals, viva, and OSPE assessments are conducted under the CBME curriculum. MBBS Students preparing for Pharmacology practical and viva examinations: structured case exercises and solved answers double as revision material ahead of the practical exam. Why This Book Helps: Turns prescription writing into a repeatable format: every solved case follows the same Rx / non-pharmacological treatment / follow-up / dispense structure examiners look for. Demystifies ADR reporting: step-by-step instructions paired with worked examples remove the guesswork from filing an ADR form. Builds dosage-calculation confidence: solved sums cover pediatric dosing and special populations, including renal and hepatic disease and drug use in pregnancy. Prepares you for OSPE stations directly: a dedicated chapter walks through IM, SC, intradermal, and IV bolus drug administration and IV drip setting technique. Covers the exam's non-clinical components too: drug promotional literature appraisal, medical ethics, informed consent, and communication of prescriptions are all addressed with worked exercises. Key Features: 18 chapters spanning dosage forms, pharmacy preparations, clinical pharmacology, and OSPE technique, following the NMC CBME curriculum format. Solved, case-based prescription-writing exercises across cardiovascular, CNS, endocrine, respiratory, GI, and antibiotic-chemotherapy systems. Dedicated ADR reporting instructions with worked reporting-form examples. Solved dose-calculation exercises for pediatric and special-population prescribing, including the Ganzoni formula for parenteral iron dosing. A standalone OSPE chapter demonstrating parenteral drug administration technique and IV drip setting.
