Rang & Dale's Pharmacology, 10th ed. by
In this edition, as in its predecessors, we set out not just to describe what drugs do but to explain the mechanisms by which they act. This entails analysis of physiological mechanisms and pathological disturbances at the cellular and molecular level. Pharmacology has its roots in therapeutics as well as in organic chemistry and biotechnology, so we have attempted to make the link between effects at the molecular and cellular level and the range of beneficial and harmful effects that humans experience when drugs are used for therapeutic or other reasons. Many psychoactive drugs are not prescribed as medicines or sold over the counter. Some of these are widely used for pleasure, especially by young people, sometimes with harmful consequences. While our main emphasis is on therapeutic use, psychoactive drugs, drug addiction and tolerance are also covered. Similarly, there is a chapter on drugs used (or abused) in sport and for other lifestyle purposes.
