A book on pharmacodynamics can emphasize theory, applications, or both. This book strikes an effective balance between theory and practice, with the first four chapters devoted to the general principles of PK-PD modeling and the twelve subsequent chapters focusing on specific classes of medicinal agents. This will permit the reader to visualize the translation of theory to practice and, hopefully, encourage him/her to apply the principles of pharmacodynamics in rational drug product development and pharmacotherapyweiterlesen
