This is just a sort of overview, not an in depth pharm class, so this book is perfect. The layout is very nice, each chapter follows the same outline: Med, how it works, dosing, side effects, adverse effects, what to tell patient, clinician duties & life-span considerations for peds, pregnant, elderly. It really is a great book for "getting into it", what I mean by that is that I never read the books for class, but this one you really have to get into it, work with it, live with it, its very good for that kind of studying,

Easy to use and understand, no fluff, just the med facts and then you are off to study other material
