Good, but too detailed by TxMedStudent  3 Stars
March 29, 2008
This is a good supplement to class notes and First Aid for pharm if you need to go above and beyond. However, it is very detailed compared with other titles in the BRS series. I found it too detailed for my pharmacology class and too time consuming for board prep.

An excellent book. by Ocular/Orbital Surgeon (USA)  5 Stars
May 18, 2006
I was one of the few people in my medical school class that liked this book. I used it as a supplement to my class notes and pharmcards to study for pharmacology. I used it in addition to FirstAid to study for the boards. I found it to be excellent. I like the outline format. I found that it hit upon the pertain side effects and interactions, and I liked the organization. Mechanism of action descriptions were adequate for nearly all questions I was asked. Most in my class used the Lippicontt Illustrated Reviews Pharmacology book. But, they weren't #1 in their class for both Pharm I and Pharm II in medical school. I was. It is a good book. It is a little old now, and is certainly over-due for a new edition. I hope they come out with one. This book presents the facts concisely without a lot of fluff. Give it a shot. And, its cheaper.

Do not use (any more) by jgri (New York, NY, USA)  1 Stars
December 22, 2005
This is a way outdated issue. I am surprised that thery haven't renewed it. It is from 1998, so the data in there are probably from 1996 or 1997. Some things are simply wrong today (such as the use as Phenytoin as major anti-arrhythmic drug). Try to get a current review, not one that is almost 7 years old. Additionally it is a hard read.

Good review of pharmacology by pharmacy student (Athens, GA USA) 4 Stars
March 06, 2000
I used this text in my pharmacology course in phar. school. It was very helpful in understanding the broad picture. Although little is written in detail, Rosenfeld offers a good summary of such a complex topic.
