About this book
Pharmacotherapeutics is where a D.Pharma student learns how diseases are actually treated, and this textbook lays it out disease by disease for the Second Year. Written strictly as per the PCI Education Regulation 2020 (ER20-24T), it follows the official syllabus so what you study is exactly what your university examines.
It opens with the principles of rational drug use — evidence-based medicine, the Essential Medicines List and Standard Treatment Guidelines — then works through the definition, etiopathogenesis, clinical manifestations and both non-pharmacological and pharmacological management of disorders across every body system: cardiovascular (hypertension, angina and MI, hyperlipidaemia, heart failure), respiratory (asthma, COPD), endocrine (diabetes, thyroid disorders), central nervous system (epilepsy, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, stroke, migraine), gastrointestinal (GERD, peptic ulcer, alcoholic liver disease, IBD), haematological (iron-deficiency and megaloblastic anaemia), infectious diseases (tuberculosis, pneumonia, UTI, hepatitis, gonorrhoea/syphilis, malaria, HIV and viral infections including SARS-CoV-2), musculoskeletal (rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis), dermatology, psychiatric disorders, ophthalmology, antimicrobial resistance and women's health (PCOS, dysmenorrhoea, PMS).
Each condition is explained in simple, clear English so students can connect the disease to its treatment and revise efficiently. At a focused 112 pages it covers the whole syllabus without unnecessary bulk.
