Product Description
The benchmark evidence-based pharmacotherapy text-now in full color! Additional chapters are available online When it comes to helping you develop a mastery of evidence-based medicine for optimal patient outcomes, no book can match Pharmacotherapy: A Pathophysiologic Approach. Like the discipline it covers, the scope of this trusted resource goes beyond drug indications and dosages to include the initial selection, proper administration, and monitoring of drugs. The book also delves into psychosocial issues that affect compliance … topics related to a patient's ability to understand and manage often-complex therapy… and lifestyle changes that may reduce the need for drug therapy or improve pharmacotherapeutic outcomes. Pharmacotherapy delivers everything you need to provide safe, efficacious drug therapy across the full range of therapeutic categories. FEATURES - NEW! Expanded evidence-based recommendations
- NEW! Extended coverage of the timely issue of palliative care and pain medicine
- NEW! Important chapters on Pulmonary Hypertension, Disorders of Calcium and Phosphorus Homeostasis, and Multiple Myeloma,
- Outstanding pedagogy, including:
- “Key Concepts” highlighted in each chapter
- “Clinical Presentation” boxes summarize the most common disease signs and symptoms covered in each chapter
- “Clinical Controversies” boxes-presented in the Treatment sections of the disease-oriented chapters-examine the complicated issues faced by students and clinicians in providing drug therapy
- Clear therapeutic recommendations in each disease-specific chapter
- “Evaluation of Therapeutic Outcomes” boxes in each disease-specific chapter, containing key monitoring guidelines that facilitate the development of a pharmaceutical, nursing, or medical care plan

I bought the casebook and the textbook together and found them to coincide nicely in their information. I even told my classmates about the deal. Thanks Amazon.

I was upset that I spent over $148.00 and found that the edges of the book were crumbled, could not send it back because I needed it for class

My 7th ed of Pharmacotherapy arrived last week. So far the information is more detailed and written at a higher level than the 6th ed which I consider an enormous improvment. But where is the E-Book?? Where is the CD that came with the 6th ed?? There are many references to on-line site [...] in the book but all the info is 6th ed. Do I have to lug this 15 pound monstrosity around with me all the time or just until I get a hernia? I e-mailed medical education@mcgraw-hill.com but have not heard from them. My review of 6th edition isn't shown. I did not like it very much. Too basic to teach from at my hospital. I hope that other chapters are as good as the ones I have read.
