A good number of MCQs are there with plenty of Case Based qtns with good explaination. More than enough for university as well as some amount of entrance based qtns. Arrythmia has been explained very well for 2nd yr level as well as above, which is rare to find in most other pharmacology textbooks. Substitute for KDT, except for classification charts and commercial names of drugs, all other things are much better explained. I would recommend buying it if you are in 2nd proff MBBS.

This book contains everything a pharmacy or medical graduate needs to know. It covers a wide range of topics, from theoretical to practical treatment approaches. The most recent medications are listed, along with their dose forms. The eye-catching nature of diagrams makes learning simple and long-lasting. Multiple-choice questions at the end of each chapter prepare us for competitive examinations while also assisting us in gaining a deeper comprehension of the clinical scenario. Prescription writing is one of the book's most engaging chapters, and it's a great way to put everything you've learned into practice.

All of these characteristics combine to make this a one-of-a-kind book in the field of pharmacology. I recommend this book for AYUSH and modern medicine students.

Looking of book cover is attractive

The Textbook of Pharmacology by THIEME PUBLISHERS is an excellent resource for 2nd year MBBS students. It is written in straight-forward language that is easy to understand and learn. The most important aspect of reading pharmacology is recalling the names of drugs, their classification and side effects, all of which are elegantly presented in the book. Classifications are represented diagrammatically, making it easier to understand, and simple mnemonics make it even easier to learn. The book also includes a plethora of useful flow charts. Each chapter begins with the learning objectives, which provide a synopsis of the content covered. It also includes chapters on prescription writing, drugs used in the geriatric and paediatric populations, management of common poisonings, and other topics that most books do not cover, making this book stand out. One of the most important aspects is that at the end of each chapter, there are CLINICAL BASED MCQs that appear on the NEXT pg.

Thieme Textbook of pharmacology by bhandari is a new release in the market. The way the information is presented is in the latest competency format. General pharmacology is explained in a very detailed and simple manner in contrast to some other well known books in the market. They have used a very well labelled diagrams which complement the text and will definitely help students to grab the concepts easily and depict them in their answers. The systemic pharmacology is also well written in a manner such that it is equally helpful for University as well as entrance exams. Every chapter at the end of it has a series of mcqs which is like a cherry on the top and helps a student revise the topics better. All in all its a good purchase for a subject like pharmacology which students dread in 2nd year the most.

One of the better INDIAN textbooks out there. The pros I found with this one are: 1. Subtle and concise; not overpacked with information like other books, and definitely not underinformimg in its iteration. 2. Beautifully explained Physiology and Mechanism of Action, and this makes a lot of difference in understanding pharmacology, and I can't stress this enough! 3. The MCQs given at the back, are though less in number, almost 10 for each unit, but aren't ONE liners, and are clinically good! 4. Last but not the least, the classification is a bit simplified; can be made better in terms of presentation, but is overall good. The cons: The plastic coated paper are great to feel and a treat to eyes, but if you're not careful enough, you might get paper cuts, like I did, twice! Overall, I don't think there are any deal breaking cons, so I would recommend this. 8/10 overall.

O.t.techinican complete.and pharmacy admission

The book is based on the new CBME curriculum, and the competencies are mentioned not only in the beginning but also under every topic in the subsequent chapters. Different chapters have been curated by different authors and hence the book provides the best possible theory. The chapters are to the point yet explain the concept fully, the terminology is comprehensive to a student and the overall experience of reading this book is great. The main pro of this book is that it has MCQs at the end of every chapter along with explanatory answers. The colourful diagrams and charts are a perk for second year students as they are extremely useful to understand the text. Both general and systemic pharmacology has been explained appropriately for University and other entrance exams. Highly recommend this book for second year medical students, and personally prefer it over KDT due to its ease of language and length of text that has to be completed in the short duration of second year.

This book is definitely going to be your best friend in 2nd year . Ask why ? -Because it’s a book which will you save you time without having to compromise on quality or marks. -High yield stuff explained in simple language using colourful illustrations and the MCQs is cherry on the top. - inclusion of topics like prescription writing which will help you in practicals and future as well - it’s not as heavy so you can easily carry it around and the paper quality is top notch .

Textbook of Pharmacology by Prasan R.Bhandari is a very good book based on the new CBME curriculum. This book is the best pharmacology book written by an Indian author for undergraduates. It is concise in its content and the content itself is so easy to understand. The individual drugs are explained in a much require detail and is based on lastest information. Inclusion of drugs usage in specialities in ample detail is to commended. The MCQs at the end of the each chapter help to test oneself in that chapter and alsohelps students to understand how MCQs can be asked from that chapter. The only the con I think is that, it could have had more tables and diagrams for faster revision during exams.

I got this book for pharmacology which is based on the new CBME curriculum.

I was a KDT reader whole of my 2nd Year and faced many difficulties on my journey and the most contrasting and interesting thing which separates this book from KDT is the Physiology part .. 1.

Various Drugs have been described and classified under sub headings like Mechanism of action, pharmacokinetics, adverse drug reactions, therapeutic uses, etc. I really recommend this book for thorough reading in daily use for better understanding.
