Pharmacological Classification of Drugs with Doses and Preparations, 7/Edition

This 7th edition of Pharmacological Classification of Drugs with Doses and Preparations presents a systematized, updated listing of easy-to-remember drug classifications as eye-catching, hierarchically arranged charts. Each classification is therapeutically meaningful, helping the reader quickly allocate any drug to its correct pharmacological or therapeutic category at a glance -- an increasingly valuable aid given how many drugs are now available. This compact companion volume spans all 14 chapters of the pharmacology curriculum: Autonomic Nervous System Drugs, Autacoids, Drugs for Respiratory Disorders, Hormones and Related Drugs, Peripheral (Somatic) Nervous System Drugs, Central Nervous System Drugs, Cardiovascular Drugs, Drugs Acting on Kidney, Drugs Affecting Blood, Gastrointestinal Drugs, Antibacterial Drugs, Antifungal-Antiviral-Antiprotozoal-Anthelmintic Drugs, Anticancer Drugs, and Miscellaneous Drugs, closing with separate Nonproprietary (generic) and Proprietary (brand) Names indexes.

Every classification chart is followed by a numbered Preparations list that gives core prescribing information for each member drug -- dose, route and frequency of administration -- alongside a curated set of leading proprietary (brand) names and dosage forms available in India. This structure turns the booklet into a genuine ready-reckoner for prescribing with accuracy and confidence. Every genuine copy also unlocks a complimentary Online Drug Atlas, verified through a scratch-and-scan authenticity code on the cover.

Who This Book Is For:
MBBS Students: a Second Professional MBBS Pharmacology companion for learning and revising the entire drug classification syllabus through visual charts rather than dense prose.
NEET PG Aspirants: a fast, chart-based way to re-drill drug classifications, a perennial high-yield pharmacology topic in postgraduate entrance exams.
Medical Interns: a pocket-sized ready-reckoner for confirming drug class, dose and route at the bedside.
Physicians: a quick chairside reference linking a drug's therapeutic class to its dose and leading brand names.
Why This Book Helps:
Simplifies memorization: hierarchical, color-coded flowcharts replace long descriptive text, making drug-class relationships instantly visual.
Puts dosing information where you need it: dose, route and frequency sit directly under each drug's own classification chart, not in a separate reference.
Bridges generic to brand: pairs every generic name with a limited, curated list of leading Indian brand names and dosage forms, so prescribers can move confidently between the two.
Two-way lookup: separate Nonproprietary and Proprietary Names indexes let you search by either the generic or the brand name.
Key Features:
14 chapters covering the complete pharmacology curriculum, from Autonomic Nervous System drugs through Anticancer and Miscellaneous drugs.
Color-coded hierarchical classification flowcharts for every major drug group, including multi-level charts for complex classes such as Antihypertensive and Congestive Heart Failure drugs.
A numbered Preparations list under every chart giving dose, route and frequency for each member drug.
Leading proprietary (brand) names and dosage forms listed alongside each generic drug, including combined/fixed-dose formulations (e.g., 12 combined antihypertensive formulations listed with exact doses).
Complimentary Online Drug Atlas access with every genuine copy, verified via an on-cover scratch-and-scan authenticity code.
