Features: Clinical pharmacology is an inevitable product of the development of contemporary pharmaceutical science, a natural bridge between clinical medicine and clinical pharmacology, and the theoretical foundation for safe, effective, and rational drug use. The greatest difference between clinical pharmacology and basic pharmacology lies in its "human-centered" approach. Whether in the study and application of pharmacodynamics or pharmacokinetics, its key parameters and conclusions are derived from normal populations or patients. To scientifically and accurately formulate individualized treatment plans, the concept and application of "evidence-based medicine" have been introduced in modern times. This involves using the results of multi-center, large-sample, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled experiments, or the comprehensive re-analysis of conclusions from multiple small-sample studies, to guide the prevention and treatment of diseases in individual patients, as well as to evaluate drugs, thereby significantly enhancing the substance of clinical pharmacology. The "Million Pharmacology Care Project" is a vast systematic project and a historically significant, century-old tree-planting endeavor. Among these, "Clinical Pharmacology" is an indispensable course for training pharmacists. We have organized a team of pharmacy experts with rich clinical experience and high academic achievements, following the principles of "evidence-based medicine" and "integrating clinical practice, highlighting pharmacology, striving for novelty, and being concise and to the point," to compile this textbook. It can be selectively used in teaching and training for pharmacy personnel of different levels. Of course, this book is also an important reference for clinical physicians.
