Clinical Pharmacy and Therapeutics is an essential, multidisciplinary textbook that combines the knowledge of pharmacists, clinicians and nurses to present optimal drug regimens.
Each chapter is co-written by a pharmacist and a clinician, merging information about disease and pathophysiological processes with clinical pharmacy experience.
