“This book is serves both as a pharmacokinetics reference for residents and practitioners, and as an education text in clinical pharmacokinetics courses in schools. The book begins with an overview of the fundamentals of pharmacokinetics, then moves into brief chapter reviews of pharmacokinetic measures, such as estimating renal function and drug concentration.
The book provides in-depth breakdowns of the dosing of drugs, with chapters sorted either by family (ex. antidepressants, aminoglycosides) and single drugs (ex. Carbamazepine, Lidocaine). Several chapters also cover pharmacokinetic changes related to special populations (ex.
peds, geriatrics, renal dysfunction, obesity). Every chapter of the 7th edition has received updates with new references to reflect current literature and recently published studies. Some chapters have received extensive updates, reflecting newly available drugs or dosage forms and/or new information that affects pharmacokinetic monitoring”–
