Book Synopsis
Disease Management is a comprehensive introduction to the management of diseases which are commonly encountered in primary care.

Trade Review

A useful book for students and preregistration trainees...
Common diseases — such as diabetes, hypertension, asthma, depression and peptic ulceration — are described, followed by brief summaries of the pharmacology of the drugs used to manage these conditions. There is a strong focus on drug choice so that the reader can appreciate the rationale behind logical prescribing....
...drug interactions represent an important therapeutic challenge and attempts have been made to highlight important examples and how they may be overcome.
The book will be of greatest value to pharmacy students in the latter part of their courses and to preregistration graduates undertaking their clinical practice.
