Waller's Medical Pharmacology and Therapeutics, 7th Edition, gives medical, biomedical and healthcare students clear, up-to-date guidance on pharmacology and drug prescribing, supporting your studies and preparation for qualifications such as the Prescribing Safety Assessment (PSA). It provides thorough coverage of the pathogenic mechanisms of disease, drug actions, unwanted effects, and the therapeutic principles of drug use-all while taking a helpful, systems-based approach that orders information according to body systems and disease areas rather than by drug class.

Fully updated to include the latest scientific understanding of drug action and usage and current best practice in prescribing medications
Clinical focus throughout, suitable for medical, pharmacy, nursing, and other healthcare and biomedical students throughout their training
NEW to this edition: expanded information on obesity, significant updates to the chapter on cancer, with all-new single best answer questions
Extensive self-assessment questions to support learning and revision
Content aligned with the British National Formulary (BNF), NICE guidelines and relevant professional benchmarks
Comprehensive drug compendia allow all drugs to be identified and placed within their respective classes and clinical indications
An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud
