Wade, PharmD, FASHP, FCCP, Joseph T. DiPiro, PharmD, Robert A. Blouin, PharmD, Jane M. Pruemer, PharmD, BCOP, FASHP , , MedInfoNow: Doody's Review Services [REVIEWER'S EXPERT OPINION] Christina Rose, PharmD (Temple University School of Pharmacy) Description The first half of this thoroughly updated book discusses pharmacokinetic concepts and presents clinical examples and practice questions after each chapter, while the second half applies the pharmacokinetic concepts in chapters on the most commonly dosed drugs in clinical practice. Throughout, there are problems and discussion points, which may be used by instructors in classroom settings. The previous edition was published in 2010. Purpose The purpose is to introduce and explain important pharmacokinetic concepts and then use a stepwise approach to apply these concepts using clinical cases. Pharmacokinetics is a complicated topic that is important for pharmacists and pharmacy students to understand and apply to clinical scenarios. The authors do an exceptional job of explaining the concepts simply and clearly, and each chapter builds on the previous ones to allow the reader to gain a better understanding of the material. Audience Although the target audience appears to be pharmacy students, the book also would serve as a good refresher for residents and general pharmacists and pharmacy practitioners. The authors are all well-known pharmacy educators who are well qualified to write a book on this topic. Features Brief discussions and definitions of concepts related to pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics begin the book. The next lessons (chapters) go into more detail about each important pharmacokinetic parameter. The last four lessons review clinical dosing cases using the most commonly monitored drugs in clinical practice. Author InformationWilliam J.
