Short Description
This book provides a comprehensive foundation for the contemporary application of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. The second edition updates and strengthens existing chapters and adds new topics to address current needs - including physiologically based pharmacokinetic modeling, pharmacogenomics and predicting drug-drug interactions. Interactive simulation modules found on a companion website allow students to explore the working of the different models and to understand their characteristics by experimenting with them in a dynamic way. Exercises based on these models makes the book ideal for self-study.
Updated with new chapters and topics, this book provides a comprehensive description of all essential topics in contemporary pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. It also features interactive computer simulations for students to experiment and observe PK/PD models in action.
* Presents the essentials of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in a clear and progressive manner
* Helps students better appreciate important concepts and gain a greater understanding of the mechanism of action of drugs by reinforcing practical applications in both the book and the computer modules
* Features interactive computer simulations, available online through a companion website at: http://www.uri.edu/pharmacy/faculty/rosenbaum/basicmodels.html
* Adds new chapters on physiologically based pharmacokinetic models, predicting drug-drug interactions, and pharmacogenetics while also strengthening original chapters to better prepare students for more advanced applications
* Reviews of the 1st edition: "This is an ideal textbook for those starting out ... and also for use as a reference book ...." (International Society for the Study of Xenobiotics) and "I could recommend Rosenbaum's book for pharmacology students because it is written from a perspective of drug action . . . Overall, this is a well-written introduction to PK/PD .... " (British Toxicology Society Newsletter)
