This fourth edition of Introducing Pharmacology provides an accessible and engaging introduction to the subject of pharmacology for nursing and healthcare students - in fact any healthcare professional needing to refresh their knowledge of this important area.
The fourth edition has been fully updated to include recently introduced drugs and a completely new chapter that takes the reader through the process of drug development and the clinical trials that are required before a drug is licensed for prescribing to patients. Acknowledging the COVID pandemic of 2020/21, a review of the vaccines and drugs used against coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) is included in this edition.

- An expanded chapter on pharmacokinetics, including the effect of renal and hepatic insufficiency on drug metabolism, and the new science of pharmacogenomics - the matching of drugs to patients, based on their individual genetics
- A new section on common skin complaints, psoriasis, eczema and the drugs used to treat them
- An expanded section on post-menopausal problems and the drugs used to alleviate symptoms
