Editorial Review:Learn How to Apply the Principles of Pharmacotherapy to Real-World Clinical Practice!
Pharmacotherapy Casebook sharpens the problem-solving and clinical decision-making skills you need to identify and resolve commonly encountered drug problems. This new edition is packed with more than 150 patient cases -- almost all of them new or revised -- and makes the perfect study companion to the seventh edition of DiPiro's Pharmacotherapy: A Pathophysiologic Approach.
Everything you need to develop expertise in pharmacotherapy decision making:
- Realistic patient presentations include medical history, physical examination, and laboratory data, followed by a series of questions using a systematic, problem-solving approach
- Compelling range of cases -- from the uncomplicated (a single disease state) to the complex (multiple disease states and drug-related problems)
- Diverse authorship, with cases provided by 180 clinicians from 94 institutions
- Casebook sections conveniently categorized by body organ system to correspond with the DiPiro's Pharmacotherapy textbook
- Coverage that integrates the biomedical and pharmaceutical sciences with therapeutics
- Appendix containing valuable information on pharmacy abbreviations, laboratory texts, mathematical conversion factors, anthropometrics, and sample responses to case questions
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - I am disappointed there are no answers to the cases
I was very enthusiastic about this book until it arrived. I was truly disappointed as it doesn't have suggested answers to the cases, which some of them are complex and require a background of clinical experience to be able to decide on solutions with confidence.
In countries where pharmaceutical care practice isn't yet as developed as in the West and access to full-text medical journals is not always available, this book would have been of a much greater benefit and a valuable educational ... Read More
Rating:  - Cases have no recommended solutions to learn from
This product looked great from the reviews. However, once received and opened, as mentioned in other reviews, there are no answers, recommendations, or even considerations given to each case. To draw an analogy, it is like having a calculus book that gives you a complex problem and says, you figure out the answer and then provides not even a method to consider for the problem or if your calculations are even on the right path.
The reader is presented with, 'Here is the problem,' but ... Read More
Rating:  - Pharmacotherapy casebook with no answers.
I purchased this item along with the Pharmacotherapy text book. It provides a number of scenarios for each chapter. The first scenario is relatively easy, the second is pretty tough to work through. The negative part of this is that it doesn't tell you the answers to the cases, nor the best way to go about getting to the answer. It does show you that everything isn't a text book case. Some of the cases are very random, just like patients are going to be. I guess it provides a real life lesson, sometimes ... Read More
Rating:  - Shipped very quickly and in very good conditions
I want to say I received the book within a week from ordering it, I don't remember exactly, but it was quicker than other books I have ordered from other sellers. It came in brand new, wrapped in plastic, along with the textbook. Good service!
Rating: - good study aid
I have used this book to aid my studies in therapeutics. While professors gave some cases, the cases in this book helped immensely to get the information down pat.
