Presents the clinical pharmacology relevant for the medical student, without bogging you down with the detail probably only necessary for pharmacology students. Bigger textbooks like Katzung's Basic & Clinical Pharmacology or Rang & Dale, good though they are, do seem to have too much clinically irrelevant detail.
The explanations in this book are very lucid, and the best part is that it's written with a great sense of humour! Presenting an apparently dull and dry subject as pharmacology with humour is a very impressive achievement indeed, kudos to the authors!
Medical Pharmacology at a Glance, Pharmacology Condensed, Lecture Notes on Clinical Pharmacology or USMLE Road Map Pharmacology are all great for a quick review, but as a full clinical pharmacology text this one is probably peerless.
