Useful if you have additional references
This book is clear, concise, and has great illustrations and charts that supplement and explain the material very well.It is a good text for an introductory level.However, for a graduate level class, I am always seeking other texts for more information.It provides cursory-level information, but few details.Also, I appreciate the way the categories are organized for some topics, but other topics the book will just have a brief paragraph.However, I do recommend this book to help you generally understand the pharmacology of a large variety of categories, and I cannot stress the excellence of the charts and figures, but if you want to focus on a topic, plan on looking in another text.

The Best Board Review Book Ever!
I used this book many years ago to get through pharmacology. I found that reading it before reading the class notes and doing questions was best. It was a lot better than the overly detailed notes from class or the Lange book, that was filled with useless details.The main points (mechanism of action, side effects, indication, etc.) are clearly stated with illustrations toclarify and help with remembering. It is concise and geared to what you need to know for Boards and also in practice, whether you are a student or resident on the wards, or later on in practice. Now that I teach medical students, I am buying an updated version, since it still offers the best way to explain pharmacology in medical practice.

useful but not all you need
Very clear and thorough on the subject matter that it contains, but this is not all you need for med school pharmacology. Use it as a learning aid or review.

Great for review, bad for learning
While in school, I enjoyed the pictures and such.But found the book tough to learn from.Maybe I don't handle gigantic lists that well.
Now that I'm out practicing, I like the book alot as a quick reference/refresher.

Great pharm review book
Great charts and they group the meds together by class.They give you a quick patho review too. This book really helps with memorization and it really is simple.

The title is an oxymoron, but they did a good job of making it simple
I actually really like this book, but I think you do need the extra guidance of a professor when using it. It's very easy to look up the pharmaceuticals and all related info, and I was actually able to use it easily when taking the open book section (looking up the pharms) of a pharmacotherapeutics test. I would definitely recommend this book.

Great book for covering the basics!
This is a wonderful book for those who are interested in the basics of pharmacology.Every chapter covers a different aspect of the body and the effects that pharmaceuticals have on it.Covering difficult concepts about the central, peripheral and autonomic nervous systems, the book utilizes charts and "cute" animations to illustrate how certain drugs act on specific receptors.In a sense this book could be considered to be a version of Cliff's Notes for pharmacology students.

However, while the book is straightforward and correct about the actions of the categories of drugs (for example, beta blockers), there are several errors in the pharmaceutical charts regarding the specific actions and side effects of certain medcines.Please check with your professors or a more knowledgable authority concerning these errors.

Not enough meds included
A pocket sized spiral bound flip book with some basic information on various classes (and a few specific) medications. I was disappointed, as I expected to have more medications included.It is intended to be a pocket reference, but the content is too sparse to be useful to me.A waste of money.

Must have for Nursing Students
If you are a Nursing student this is a must have for Nursing school...Small enough to take to clinicals with you.

Great Resource
I highly recommend this item.It is great to take with you on the go and it's fun.It's an easy way to learn about meds.

Good help
I just passed my NCLEX and this helped. I just wish it was about twice as long since there are SO many drugs to learn. Really, these memory tricks help.

don't bother
Don't bother wasting your time or money, even if your prof. recommends them. I NEVER opened them up as the prof. always told us what we needed to know--also these cards are based on characteristics of drug classes, not individual drugs themselves. ... Read more

Product Description
This set of 282 PharMnemonics cards is carefully designed to make medical pharmacology fun to learn and easy to memorize. First of all, major drug names or class stems are linked to drug actions with mnemonics, humor and illustrations. This turns a "clueless" drug name into a vivid visual cue for easy recall of drug actions and quick recognition of drug classification. Secondly, along with the action-linked visual mnemonics, mechanisms of action are explained sufficiently with detailed diagrams. Thirdly, drug uses, interactions and side effects are summarized concisely in an outline format and ALSO made memorable with numerous mnemonics and illustrations. Finally, some key points of drugs are presented with tables and even highlighted with Dr. Bright's Hint, a special mnemonic form mostly expressed as a brief conversation.Organized systematically, each topic starts with an overview card that has a list of drugs on the front and an integrated diagram illustrating the sites of action on the back. This provides the reader a comprehensive yet clear big picture for drug classification and rationales of drug therapy.It is updated with the latest drugs and drug classes, such as GLP-1 agonists and DPP-4 inhibitors used for treating type II diabetes mellitus. Also, it has an appendix listing commonly used trade names. This set of PharMnemonics cards is intended to serve as an excellent memory aid in medical pharmacology review, either for the courses or the board exams. It is suitable for anyone who wants to learn and memorize medical pharmacology with ease and fun. ... Read more

I found these cards to be very helpful. I was impressed by the clarity and precision of the figures, as well as by the catchy mnemonics. Highly recommended and worth the money.

Best Drug Cards you can buy!
I bought these cards last semester. I really like how they use pictures and sayings to help jog your memory. Dont waste your money on other cards. These are the only ones you will need.

wroth every penny (or not)
amazing set of cards...use it with first aid, as it is missing some of the drugs.

Guys..i have to change the review because as I go through more cards I discover more critical info that's not on here..which is very unfortunate because I really like the cards.

Easiest Method to ACE Pharma
I bought these cards in the middle of my session not sure if they were worth the try or not.i was a pro "Examination Review Katzung" person. but when i got hold of them i realized their worth. . . They have excellent detail of drugs. More than whats written in Short Katzung and at the same time very concise n clear. and cartoons with mneumonics help you memorize the adverse effects of almost all the drugs very easily in no time.

I highly recommend them for person studying pharma in medschool....

Quite helpful

Funny Text, Honest!
Although many nursing students would cringe at the thought of taking pharmacology, this text actually makes it easy.The author inserts many humorous comments throughout the text while making the necessary presented information easily readable and understandable.The included disc provides students with thought-provoking questions that test knowledge on each chapter.An excellent text overall.

Great Book!
Although I just started the Pharmacology class, this book has been very beneficial in helping me understand the concepts of pharmacology.I would also recommend the Lipincott or Davis's Drug Guide for Nurses 10ed. book to facilitate learning.So far the class has been pretty rough, so beware.

Wonderful Resource!
This text is being used by PA and FNP students at my school. Of all the books we have read throughout the program, Pharmacology for Nursing Care is hands down my favorite text.It's extremely well written, important points are clearly emphasized, and Lehne also throws in a touch of humor!

yohardys
So far, this is the best textbook that I have had in my graduate nursing education.Lehne takes what can be a difficult subject and very deftly organizes the content and simplifies the explanations of the various classes of drugs.My class was entirely online and I was able to grasp all the concepts and learn the material by the book alone.It is an easy to read, well organized text that I highly recommend to anyone in need of a pharmacology resource.You won't want to sell it back!

Great for USMLE studying!
I've been using these to study for Step 1 of the USMLE and find them to be great.The basics: mechanism of action, clinical indications and adverse effects are all on each card.I think they are less detailed than some cards -- no info. on the pharmacokinetics, but I don't really need that information at this stage.I would recommend these cards without hesitation.

Not without flaws
These cards come in a great box and are very high quality, so that is nice. The problem is that they don't cover many of the drugs I'm required to know. This makes it hard to use them as a study aid because you tend to forget about the drugs that aren't included.
I don't take step 1 for another 5 months so I can't comment on their usefulness in that regard.

Brenner Pharm Not-So Flashy
The Brenner Pharmacology Flash Cards are an excellent source for the cards that are in it. My only real disappointment has been in the number of cards. Many of the drugs in our course (medical pharm) did not have drug cards, however the drugs that don't have cards have FDA required insert information available at the Elsevier Studentconsult.com.

Each card includes the name and class on the front (with brand/generic names). Then on the back it includes the front's information with the

Clinical Class
Pharmacologic class
MOA
Clinical Indications
ADR's
Special information
Similar drugs

These aren't the exact titles, but it makes the point. For the drugs that I was tested over, I had all I needed in the lecture materials, but the cards sounded down the information and I believe will greatly help for board preparations.

Good resource
They are set up in a clear, concise format, with very straightforward organization.So far they include the large majority of drugs that we're covering in the med school curriculum.

Book Description
This primary textbook for a first course in pharmacology offers an integrated, systems-based, and mechanism-based approach to understanding drug therapy. Each chapter focuses on a target organ system, begins with a clinical case, and incorporates cell biology, biochemistry, physiology, and pathophysiology to explain how and why different drug classes are effective for diseases in that organ system. Over 400 two-color illustrations show molecular, cellular, biochemical, and pathophysiologic processes underlying diseases and depict targets of drug therapy. Each Second Edition chapter includes a drug summary table presenting mechanism, clinical applications, adverse effects, contraindications, and therapeutic considerations. New chapters explain how drugs produce adverse effects and describe the life cycle of drug development. The fully searchable online text and an image bank are available on thePoint. ... Read more

Just get this book as soon as possible!
The second edition is usually better than the first one, and the first one was simply excellent! A great book, with a problem-based learning approach in mind, updated and with many new and important chapters (Protein Therapies, Drug Delivery Advances, Pharmacogenetics, among others). The good thing with this book is that any chapter deals with the necessary coverage of anatomy, physiology, pathology and so on before coming to the drugs facts. With the early med student in mind, the book will be useful for any health related career. The book is clear, is concise -notwithstanding comprehensive-, and with a complete set of drug facts tables at the end of most chapters. Simply said, the kind of book I'd liked to write myself.

One more thing: The book is brilliantly complemented by its companion book, "Principles of Pharmacology Workbook", by S. Farrell, a great account of more than 100 clinical cases regarding each chapter of the main book, with no less than five questions -and their corresponding answers- for every one of the cases. The ideal complement to make this couple of books the best pharmacology books in the scene today. I work very actively with both of them in teaching my own pharmacology courses.

Huge, but excellent for really understanding material
Exceptional for learning the basics. I had a few all-important concepts that I just couldn't get: G-proteins, the anterior pituitary hormones, and the alpha/beta/cholinergic agonists and antagonists. After struggling to learn each of these several times from lecture notes and other books, I turned to this book. It worked well for me because it teaches in a conceptual way and helps develop your understanding of the material. It will take a little more time, but if this is the way you learn, it will really help.

I went back to this book many times when I ran into difficult questions reviewing for Step 1 and realized that I didn't really understand the basic concepts.

Not the book to use the night before your pharm exam: for that, I'd use the small Katzung and Trevor.

A unique case-oriented phramacology
Armen(Tashjian) and others have invented a unique type of pharmacology textbook in collaboration with Harvard Med Stud!Each chapter begins with the short introduction of a case report, relevant to each drug.This may give an easy undestanding of clinical significance of the drug to med stud, interns, pharmacologists and even clinicians.I believe that it will evolve into the classic of pharmaocolgy textbook!!

A really nice review book
Professor Golan used his copy notes for this book in our class this year, so we basically had the book without the cover or index, but otherwise it was all intact.Almost everyone in our class really loved the book--it gives a basic overview of each area of physiology and pathophysiology and then described the therapies used to treat the pathology.The book was mostly written by students, and it shows b/c everything is super easy to understand and is really geared towards a medical student.Also, this seems to be the only comprehensive textbook of pharmacology that divides the drugs by pathophysiology on the market, as everything else (Katzung, etc.) are laundry lists of drugs, albeit providing more information on each separate drugs.I think I would supplement this book with Katzung (or vice versa.)In any case, I recommend it! ...

Love the book but the CD ROM is worthless. Don't use the CD and I hope no professor out there makes their class use it. It does not work. I had all the right answers and it still told me i was wrong but when it gave the answer, it was the same one I gave. My instructor even tried to use it and his cd was missing stuff.

Essentials of Pharmacology for Health Occupations
This textbook is very easy to read, the quizzes at the end of each chapter really help to summerize the information learned. The patient education sections are helpful for learning what the patient will need to know. Very well written and easy to follow.

The only downside is that I am in Canada using this for a course and the book is written in the USA with USA legislation and rules in mind.

this one is good
I liked this book, and allowed me to find new concepts, especialy numenclature of drugs and their categories

Great for a fast moving program such as Health Information
As a single parent and full time student I find it difficult to keep up.My pharmacology class is packing this book into 10 weeks.The normal length of semesters is 16 weeks.Some weeks consist of 4 tests.This bookhas been a definite asset to my education.It is thourough, but consiceeducational tool.The text consists of an overall introduction ofmedicines and then it breaks down the medicines by body system withsub-categories of classification.The worksheets are cumbersome, but agood learning tool.I only wish I would have known I could buy this bookhere as it is less expensive than the college bookstore! ...

Smart, concise, efficient
Great review book, especially if you have already spent time on studying pharmacology (I used Katzung's Pharamacology), this book helps a great deal to bring this knowledge back to surface.

Fabulous Pharm Review
Short, concise discussion on each category (not specific drugs) with notes on drugs that have interesting or significant deviation from category. Explanations are short and sometimes thin, but if you do the practice questions you realize a lot of the teaching info in book comes from the questions. Highly recommended review book.

Nursing Pharmacology Made Incredibly Easy!
I bought this book because I like the Incredibly Easy! series.I wanted a pharmacology review and this book is great for that.The illustrations help me remember things easier along with key facts written in highlighted boxes.The nursing process is also used for each drug classification and there are good education tips in this book.It was a great purchase.

Nursing Pharmacology Made Easy
The book is for my daughter and she likes it.It makes looking up the medications easy.

Good Adjunctive
I think this book is a good adjunctive to a text book. I generally read a chapter after I read the same subject in my test book. It works as a great review and wraps things up. I would not toss my text book out for this one however.

Nursing Pharmacology Made Incredibly Easy
This is for my daughter-in-law and she was very happy with it. It will help in her work.

I disagee with the Advanced degree Snob
The purpose of this series is not to TEACH. It provides a testing tool; practice questions for exam or NCLEX prep. If you want to learn about calcium channel blockers, read your textbook or turn to one of Lippincotts other books. I also recommend Lippincott's Clinical Pharmacology Made Incredibly Easy book. The text my prof used in my pharm class was very poor. But I read it anyway. Then, when I was beginning my prep for each exam, I would read through the Made Incredibly Easy chapters in the drug classes specific to what my exam would cover. Then I would use the software to practice. I found this very helpful with probably THE hardest class a nursing student has to slog through. ... Read more

Pharmacology Made Insanely Easy

Very helpful!
I am in nursing school, presently. I have been trying to figure out a way I could understand these medications and this book is wonderful.

Very Insane.
I bought this book as a prep for the NCLEX. However, there is so much information to know on these drugs that it's impossible to memorize. I studied just the classification of drugs, with an emphasis on Digox, Heparin, Coumadin, and the classes of antibiotics. Know the theraputic and toxic levels of digoxin, know the loading does and the maintenance doses too. Know the Ptt for heparin and Pt for coumadin, know the antidotes. Finally know the classes of antibiotics, and lab values to watch for, namely BUN and creatinine. These are the drug issues that are stressed for the NCLEX, in all of the prep books I used.

Very helpful for remembering
I have problems remembering drugs.The pictures in this bookis a tremendous help for me.All my instructors use them in their lectures too.Instead of remembering facts, you can remember the image, and think, oh yeah you get a fever, you get increased heart rate, you can be toxic if.....etc.I recomend it to SUPPLEMENT you classes. ...

Is this book worth it?
I would assume that the majority of people who would buy this book are taking a class in pharmacology. I have had alot of recommended text books that were not worth even taking out of the wrapper, but this book is not one of them. The author's actually spent the time to organize and gather relatively current information and then put a hard cover on it. It's getting harder and harder to get that combination. I gave this a 5 star rating because it really will be a book you will keep and reference after the class is over.

Pharmacology in Rehabilitation
This is an easy-to-read, very concise and to the point text book.Ciccone does a great job of summarizing each disease process, listing the drugs used in their management, and including excellent case studies as they pertain to rehabilitation.Of particular help were the boxes at the end of each chapter which detailed any rehabilitation concerns that should be addressed in treating patients using particular pharmacological intervention.I actually read this book from start to finish and can claim to have read an entire textbook, a first for me.

Product was in Excellent Condition
I was very happy with the product and the timliness of its delivery.There was not a scratch on the book.Good experience.

Great text
Charles Ciccone who wrote this text was my teacher in physical therapy school at Ithaca College.Throughout college, everyone knew that if the class was taught by him we would all have an easy time understanding all of the concepts.He was a great teacher who really knew how to explain even the more difficult topics and pharmacology was no exception.This textbook was extrememly useful as it not only explains what types of drugs have specific effects on the body and it's systems, but it is particularly detailed in describing the impact that the drugs may have on rehab.Even in class, this was one aspect that he reinforced.He explained that the reason for talking about certain classes of drugs and then giving a few examples is because the drug world is always changing and so are the names.This way he has provided a wealth of knowledge and in a very easy to understand manner.

I have been out of school for about 3 years and I still occassionally refer to this book when encountering some classes of drugs and this is a great reference to have.I would highly recommend this text to anyone, that is especially if you can't be in one of his classes.

Comprehensive pharmacology text for all rehab professionals.
Pharmacology in Rehabilitation by C.D. Ciccone is an all inclusive text and post-graduate reference on drugs, pharmakokinetics, action/side effects/interactions.Of paramount interest and use is the section within each class of drugs entitled "special considerations in rehabilitation."

Section I is a self contained unit in pharmacokinetics with enough detail for any non-prescribing rehab professional. I am sure prescribing clinicians would also find these explanations clear and helpful in deciphering the more involved pharmacology texts.

Section II: CNS, deals with not only the pharmacology but offers an excellent review of the CNS organization and neurotransmitters.I very much enjoyed the section explaining the blood-brain barrier which is clear and removes all mystery.The clinical case studies offered for each specific class of drugs are very realistic and offer a fine teaching tool for the case based academician.

Every section not only teach! ! es the pharmacology involved but reviews all normal and abnormal physiology content involved.Sections cover pain medications, antibiotics, cardiopulmonary classes including antihypertensives, endocrinology and oncology.

This reference text is far more extensive than is reflected in this brief review.

I highly recommend this text as a stand alone text in the classroom and as a post-graduate reference for the clinician's bookshelf.A copy alongside of the PDR in the clinic would be a well used reference. ... Read more
