Pharmacology is the heart of Pharmacy field. Students get attracted for Pharmacology subject for to satisfy their curiosity towards living system and hands on training on animals. But because of lack of proper guidance and training they do not get successful results as they expected. Moreover according to the new guidelines of Pharmacy Council of India postgraduate students should know all the techniques related to different areas like animal handling, dosing, gene amplification, DNA/RNA isolation, Bioassay etc. Though all this are very diversified fields it’s very difficult to compile all the practical’s in one reference book. Even undergraduate pharmacy students are also expected to have knowledge of Pharmacology as that of medical student as and even more than them in case of experimental pharmacology. Though the animals are banned in the undergraduate experiments it gets impossible to learn Pharmacology at that much extent. For the solution of this problem we have compiled mostly all the practical’s of experimental pharmacology which are in the curriculum of postgraduate and undergraduate students.

- It covers all feasible exercises in pharmacology. The exercises vary from simple demonstration to computer simulation models - The manual has been written keeping in view the desired shift in the pharmacology practical teaching from pharmacy based redundant experiments to more meaningful.

Based on the latest NMC/MCI curriculum and all practical competencies of the subject have been covered for 2nd professional MBBS students.

Practical Pharmacology for the Pharmaceutical Sciences is a lab survival guide for those studying Pharmacology, providing hands-on advice on developing pharmacology laboratory and data handling skills. Suitable for both undergraduates and postgraduates, it focuses on laboratory techniques rather than computer-simulated data. It also guides the reader through the process of communicating experimental results in a variety of formats, including posters, oral presentations and project reports. Split into three main areas, the following topics are covered in detail: Preparation for Experimental Pharmacology Legal aspects Fundamentals of Pharmacology Definitions, calculations and statistics Experiments in Pharmacology Microtitre-based techniques using isolated cells In vitro techniques using isolated tissues and organs Biochemical techniques using cell-free systems Communicating experimental results Data presentation How to write scientific reports Pharmacological literature Supported with numerous questions throughout the text, as well as step by step instructions for practical experiments, this book presents an approach to learning pharmacology through an appreciation of authentic experimental data.

This book sequentially covers clinical methods, clinical cases, investigations, diagnosis and therapy principles in a concise form. It guides the student with the correct way of history taking and clinical examination which will help them in identifying the clinical signs. In the first 9 chapters, the manual covers in detail the bedside clinical methods under the following heads: history taking and general examination, gastrointestinal system, cardiovascular system, respiratory system, neurology, nephrology, endocrine and metabolic diseases, hematology and oncology, and musculoskeletal system. The salient feature of the book is description of 100 cases along with viva voce of important cases. The method in which the symptoms, bedside clinical signs, synopsis of clinical cases have been sequenced will make it easy for the students in the clinical part of the examination. Chapters 10–15 cover electrocardiography, imaging, procedures, diet, table viva voce and emergencies which will help students to prepare for spots and table viva voce. The standard approach of interpretation and discussion of ECGs and x-rays has been discussed. The ECG and x-ray chapters carry 25 ECGs and 60 imaging pictures. Procedure chapter describes common instruments. Another feature of the book is an exclusive chapter on table viva voce covering 200 questions with answers. The manual is supplemented with 536 illustrations, 97 boxes and 45 tables. We believe that the manual should prove a key and core companion to the students during medicine practical examination.
