Main description:

Pharmacology is a vast subject challenging the memory of students, and new drugs are being introduced all the time, to further increase this burden. However, books containing extensive description of drugs are unnecessary for physiotherapists and this book has been designed, keeping in mind the pharmacology syllabus for physiotherapy students and the knowledge of drugs necessary in their profession.

The text has a simple and adequate description of drugs with boxes, tables, charts and simple line diagrams for better understanding of the subject. This book is meant exclusively for physiotherapy students - the first of its kind!
