Common clinical drugs are thoroughly detailed, covering their chemical structures, English and Chinese names, synonyms, molecular formulas, molecular weights, properties, pharmacological actions and mechanisms, indications, pharmacokinetics, drug interactions, adverse reactions, formulations and dosages, storage, and more, for easy reference. Additionally, some content has been updated, and more new theoretical materials have been added, such as drug precautions, drug evaluation, and pregnancy drug classification. An index is provided at the end for easy lookup, along with four appendices that introduce the new national essential medicines and major traditional Chinese medicines. The book is rich in content, practical, and highly applicable, making it an important pharmacology reference for clinicians in various disciplines, as well as for pharmaceutical researchers, educators, and teaching staff.
