Rang & Dale's Pharmacology Paperback – 24 May 2023
Purchase options and add-ons
Rang and Dale’s Pharmacology is internationally acknowledged as the core textbook for students of pharmacology, and has provided accessible, up-to-date information on drugs and their mechanism of action for more than 30 years.
Now in its tenth edition, it has been updated to include important new drugs such as gene therapies, personalised medicines and the new wave of RNA drugs.

FabrizioReviewed in Italy on 1 February 2024
4.0 out of 5 stars Molto chiaro, ma necessita di approfondimenti per i programmi italiani
Verified PurchaseTesto estremamente chiaro, che riesce a rendere facilmente comprensibili anche aspetti piuttosto complessi della farmacologia.
Molto pertinente nei richiami fisiologici e fisiopatologici utili a spiegare il meccanismo d'azione dei farmaci. Ottima la trattazione della farmacologia generale e dei farmaci agenti sul sistema nervoso centrale.
Ben illustrato, e le illustrazioni sono davvero utili alla comprensione (a differenza del 90% dei testi italiani).
Comunque, per il livello medio di dettaglio di un tipico CdS in Medicina e Chirurgia italiano, non è sufficiente (soprattutto se avete le farmacologie divise): personalmente, l'ho usato per un primo studio, ma è necessariamente da integrare.
Del libro esiste anche un'edizione italiana, pubblicata da Edra, ma è molto meno recente, quindi probabilmente ormai un po' carente.
