Summary:Designed for students, doctors and all concerned with evidence-based drug therapy, this text aims to increase success in therapeutics through an understanding of how drugs get into the body, how they produce their effects, what happens to them in the body, and how evidence of their therapeutic effect is assessed. This information should help those involved in choosing drugs more skilfully, and to use them more successfully.
