Basic Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics: An Integrated Textbook and Computer Simulations (Paperback)
Updated with new chapters and topics, this book provides a comprehensive description of all essential topics in contemporary pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. It also features interactive computer simulations for students to experiment and observe PK/PD models in action.
- Presents the essentials of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in a clear and progressive manner
- Helps students better appreciate important concepts and gain a greater understanding of the mechanism of action of drugs by reinforcing practical applications in both the book and the computer modules
- Features interactive computer simulations, available online through a companion website at: https: //web.uri.edu/pharmacy/research/rosenbaum/sims/
- Adds new chapters on physiologically based pharmacokinetic models, predicting drug-drug interactions, and pharmacogenetics while also strengthening original chapters to better prepare students for more advanced applications
