Features: This textbook was compiled under the guidance of the Editorial Committee for Higher Medical Education Specialized Teaching Materials and is intended for full-time medical specialized and higher vocational and technical education. Guided by the training objectives of higher vocational education, this textbook strives to reflect the characteristics of specialized textbooks for higher medical education. It focuses on introducing the basic theories and essential knowledge of modern pharmacology while appropriately incorporating the latest developments in the field. In response to changes in clinical drug usage and the continuous update of medications, new drug categories and content have been added. Adhering to the principles of scientific rigor, practicality, applicability, and readability, adjustments have been made to chapters and content, including the addition of topics such as "Antidementia Drugs," "Antiretroviral Drugs," and "Antianoxic and Helicobacter pylori Drugs," while some drugs with limited clinical use or overlapping with other disciplines, such as "Antileprosy Drugs" and "Vitamin Drugs," have been removed. To help students better master the material, learning objectives categorized as "Master," "Familiarize," and "Understand" are listed at the beginning of each chapter, and key points are summarized at the end of each chapter. The textbook contains approximately 400,000 words and is divided into 38 chapters. The drug names in the textbook are based on the Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China (2005 Edition) and the New Pharmacology (15th Edition), while medical terminology follows the newly published terms approved by the Commission on the Standardization of Names of Natural Sciences.
