Features: The writing is closely aligned with the training objectives of higher vocational education, paying attention to the ideological, scientific, and inspirational aspects of the textbook while highlighting practicality and advancedness (the novelty of knowledge). In terms of content selection, the basic theories and essential knowledge are considered "necessary and sufficient," emphasizing basic skills. Additionally, in line with the implementation of China's pharmacist qualification examination system, the needs of the profession are addressed, with a focus on the demand for pharmacological knowledge and skills in pharmacy, striving for "less but more precise." The book is divided into two parts: fundamental pharmacological theories and an experimental tutorial. The theoretical part consists of 42 chapters, with all content related to general pharmacology included in General Pharmacology chapters. Organophosphate poisoning and its antidote are included as a section under anticholinergic drugs, while the rational use of antimicrobial drugs is treated as a separate chapter. Based on professional characteristics, interactions of key and commonly used drugs are listed separately. The experimental tutorial covers basic knowledge and techniques in pharmacological experiments, as well as 25 classic and practical pharmacological experiments. Each institution can select experiments based on its needs and available conditions.
