In addition, it is clinically oriented and gives due importance to the self-directed learning. The duration of teaching for the subject of Pharmacology in the new curriculum has been reduced to one year with additional dedicated time to revisit it in the subsequent years. This 26th edition of Pharmacology and Pharmacotherapeutics has been revised considerably to match the demands of the new curriculum.     Right from its conception, this book has used an integrated approach intertwining current knowledge of pathophysiology of the disease, pharmacology of available drugs and strategies for medical management of diseases. We have made every attempt to provide up-to-date information about the drugs while focussing on the aspects relevant to their use in clinical practice.     Structured pedagogy facilitating feature-rich presentation and organization of the content, which makes it more student friendly    Richly illustrated content supplemented with large number of tables and boxes - explaining physiology, complex concepts, relevant drug features and principles of pharmacotherapy   Mechanisms of drug actions, explained in text and illustrated via diagrams as well as videos (animations) for better understanding and retention   Key points in pharmacology and pharmacotherapy of diseases highlighted throughout the book   Practical tips in this book serve as a reference guide in practice so that students can treat their patients effectively and confidently   What's New         Thoroughly revised content, fully in line with the New CBME Curriculum          Knowledge-related competencies labelled within the text   Drug information fully updated, presented in crisp and integrated manner   Illustrations increased, converted to multicolour graphics   Core points and therapeutics highlighted with coloured backgrounds in the text   Widely reviewed and updated text, in line with feedback from faculty members and students   Over 100 flow charts of drug classification added, available as a separate section within the book     Important Additions\/Updations         Management of ADRs and drug interactions   Epilepsy management - updated   Psycopharmacology - clinically oriented   Prostaglandin uses - at a glance   Updated treatment guidelines for asthma and COPD    Newer antimicrobials, beta lactamase inhibitors and antibiotic stewardship programme   Current guidelines for TB management   STD prophylaxis   Drug therapy of HBV, HCV and coronaviruses    Metronomic chemotherapy   Recent trends in management of diabetes mellitus   Immunopharmacology - simplified\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSECTION 1: General Pharmacology   1.
