Atkinsons Principles of Clinical Pharmacology

Atkinson's Principles of Clinical Pharmacology, Fourth Edition is the essential reference on the pharmacologic principles underlying the individualization of patient therapy and contemporary drug development. This well-regarded survey continues to focus on the basics of clinical pharmacology for the development, evaluation and clinical use of pharmaceutical products while also addressing the most recent advances in the field. Written by leading experts in academia, industry, clinical and regulatory settings, the fourth edition has been thoroughly updated to provide readers with an ideal reference on the wide range of important topics impacting clinical pharmacology. Presents the essential knowledge for effective practice of clinical pharmacologyIncludes a new chapter and extended discussion on the role of personalized and precision medicine in clinical pharmacologyOffers an extensive regulatory section that addresses US and international issues and guidelinesProvides extended coverage of earlier chapters on transporters, pharmacogenetics and biomarkers, along with further discussion on Phase 0 studies (microdosing) and PBPK INDICE: 1.
