Features: This book is divided into 14 chapters. The first chapter is a general introduction to clinical pharmacology, covering basic knowledge of clinical pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, chronopharmacology, pharmacoepidemiology, adverse drug reactions, drug-induced diseases, drug interactions, the influence of the body on pharmacodynamics, pharmacoeconomics, and evidence-based medicine. The subsequent chapters are divided into two parts: the first part introduces the main characteristics of the disease and the latest advances in diagnosis and treatment, while the second part introduces drugs related to the disease and their clinical applications. The book is organized with sections such as [Pharmacokinetics], [Pharmacological Effects], [Clinical Applications], [Adverse Reactions and Prevention], [Drug Interactions], [Precautions], and [Clinical Evaluation], providing a comprehensive introduction to the drugs. It briefly explains how to adjust medication in special physiological and pathological conditions, evaluates the efficacy and safety of first-line drugs and monotherapies based on evidence-based medicine, enabling clinicians to gain a comprehensive understanding of the drugs when selecting treatment options. This allows for a more rational choice of medications, leading to better therapeutic outcomes by comparing the effects of various drugs and those with similar actions.
