Lippincott Pharm is a fabulous book for medical students. It has the basics clearly outlined and nice tables to help you remember them. The text is brief and clear. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that it is a bit dry and can be hard to get through.

Its especially helpfull to students but also can be used as a reference book. Most importandly, the illustration is impressive!!The tables, drawings, sketches and little pictures make it easier to memorize importand concepts and basic information and thus can make pharmacology fun!!

I read this book along with my syllabus from BOD. This clears up some of the topics that aren't presented too clearly during BOD. It helped me do well in pharmacology. For the boards, this book should just be used as a reference if there are any concepts you don't understand in first aid.

But not a very deep insight look at drugs. Very good for side effects and used it a lot for the anti-neoplastic part of pharmacology.
