About the book
The Manual gathers 48 of the calculations used most often to evaluate drug action and safety in animal and human studies.
It covers graded and quantal dose-response relations, relative potency, drug antagonism, Scatchard analysis, pharmacokinetics, and the core statistical tests. Many of the statistical methods apply well beyond pharmacology.
Students, researchers, clinical pharmacologists, and pharmacists keep it at hand as a practical desk reference.
Each procedure includes
- A concise explanation of its pharmacologic basis
- The required formulas
- A fully worked example
- A companion computer program that uses the same example
