Basic Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics: An Integrated Textbook and Computer Simulations by Sara E. Rosenbaum (Editor), offers an updated and comprehensive look at the essential topics in contemporary pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, now in its second edition. The book is designed to provide a clear and progressive understanding of these critical areas of study, enhanced with interactive computer simulations that allow students to experiment and observe PK/PD models in action. New chapters on physiologically based pharmacokinetic models, predicting drug-drug interactions, and pharmacogenetics add depth and relevance to the content, ensuring that students are well-prepared for advanced applications.
Enhancing practical learning, the book features interactive computer simulations accessible online through a companion website at https://web.uri.edu/pharmacy/research/rosenbaum/sims/. These tools reinforce key concepts and mechanisms of drug action, providing hands-on experience that complements the theoretical knowledge presented in the text. The first edition received high praise from reviewers who noted its suitability as an ideal textbook for beginners and a valuable reference for more advanced students.
With 576 pages dedicated to exploring these vital areas of pharmacology, this book is a must-have resource for anyone interested in understanding how drugs work within the body. Its dual approach—combining traditional text with interactive simulations—ensures that learners gain both theoretical knowledge and practical skills necessary for success in the field.
Published by Wiley on December 27, 2016, this edition of Basic Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics is a valuable addition to the libraries of students, researchers, and professionals in pharmacology and related fields. It stands out for its thorough coverage, practical applications, and engaging interactive features.
