Ebook: How Medicines Work: Illustrated

With the continuing explosion of medical information, the book addresses the following themes:

What topics should the medical schools teach the next generation of students? How to serve a medical practitioner who wishes to be better informed about the latest medicines? What about the regulatory agencies where the safety and effectiveness of a new drug can be better evaluated in the context of the biology of a particular disease. The advent of personalized medicine teaches that each patient is unique, which requires an understanding of the confluence of genetics, physiology, biochemistry and pharmacology for a specific drug.

This book breaks important new ground by focusing on the cellular biochemistry of selected diseases and how the respective drug works, using a concise, focused and non-technical graphic review.
