Description
Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers Pharmacology For Physiotherapy Students 3Rd Edition 2017 by Udaykumar Padmaja
Physiotherapy is an essential mode of patient care. Since all patients treated by physiotherapists are likely to be receiving drugs, basic knowledge of drug effects as well as adverse effects is needed for all physiotherapists and also all staff involved in patient care. However, the depth of knowledge needed could be different. Since pharmacology is a rapidly growing subject and requires frequent updation, the third edition has been brought out. The latest prescribed syllabus (updated 2017) has been followed. All topics have been thoroughly revised and unnecessary information has been removed. Many figures and flow charts have been added and the book has been tailored to the needs of physiotherapy students.
Key Features
Pharmacology is a vast subject challenging the memory of students. Several new drugs have been introduced further increasing their burden. However, books containing extensive description of drugs are unnecessary for physiotherapists. This book has been designed, keeping in mind the pharmacology syllabus for physiotherapy students and the knowledge of drugs necessary in their profession. The text has a simple and adequate description of drugs with boxes, tables, charts and simple line diagrams for better understanding of the subject. This book is meant exclusively for physiotherapy students-the first of its kind to be brought out.
Target Audience
Orthopediacian, physical medicine and for postgraduate students as well
