Pharmacology Secrets
This book is quite a disappointment for "the secrets" series.This Anthony lady rated her own book explaining that you will learn a lot, and so much important information is missing.You can't use it for anything... much unnecessary detail is put into it.This book is rubbish, so I recommend you stay away.

It would be useful to the practicing physician and would be an excellent review source for board exams in pharmacology.Want to learn something? Get this book. ... Read more
