Description:

There is a need for a straightforward, uncomplicated, basic, introductory book that presents only the material essential to provide a good foundation in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. This book fills that need; it is designed by the author to teach quantitative pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in a novel way. It consists of the book and integrated interactive computer modules. Modules and exercises based on them are are available online via a companion website, and they are integrated into relevant parts of the book to reinforce the concepts presented.
