... Something about this book, from this book... 😊😊😊

In Pharmaceutical and Clinical Calculations, second edition, Drs. Mansoor Khan and Indra Reddy have provided a contemporary resource that can help pharmacy students learn the basic principles of how to accurately interpret prescriptions and medication orders, measure, calculate and compound quality dosage forms. In the latter chapters, the student can learn multiple methods to accurately and safely dose patients. The computational methods to accom- plish these ends are clearly presented, and the examples used to demonstrate the concepts are relevant to contemporary practice. Pharmacy students will be presented with these very same problems in live patients during clinical rotations. This book can also be a reference source for practitioners who need to "refresh" basic concepts in measurements and calculations to ensure safe and effective drug therapy for their patients. The concepts and methods pre- sented serve as foundational knowledge and skills for all patient-centered pharmacists as they seek to serve their patients with the highest level of care.
