Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
A comprehensive textbook of basic and clinical pharmacology for nurses and other allied health professionals, this book is superbly illustrated throughout so that complex mechanisms can be easily understood. Integrating basic and clinical pharmacology, it focuses on the distinct areas of absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion. It examines drugs used in neurological and psychiatric disorders, those with central and peripheral analgesic effect, and those used in disorders of the pulmonary, gastrointestinal, urinary, and endocrinological systems. The book also examines drugs in pregnancy and in children and the elderly.
MoreLong description:
Drug therapy is an increasingly important element in the treatment of patients, and understanding how a drug works is essential for all nurses. Illustrated Pharmacology for Nurses is a fully comprehensive and beautifully illustrated textbook covering both the basic principles and the clinical aspects of pharmacology.
The book provides clear and simple explanations of the way drugs act, looking at their effects and their use in a range of situations. Combining the basic and clinical aspects of pharmacology in one concise volume, it is an invaluable learning tool for nursing, biomedical and clinical science students.
