For more than 50 years, scientists, clinicians and students have relied on this reference for information on the pharmacokinetics, mechanisms of action and therapeutic application of drugs. This edition provides the latest information on molecular pharmacology as it redefines the definitive database of pharmacologic therapeutics. All the newly approved drugs are included. More importantly, for each drug class, there is an overview of chemical composition, mechanisms of action, indications and contraindications, clinical applications and potential side-effects.… (more)
This pharmacology text is comprehensive--it's like the "bible" of pharmacology. It has considerably more detail than most pharmacology texts, so if you need to understand the mechanism of action of a drug or a class of drugs, this is the book to have. It doesn't work well for quick reference (such as what one needs in a pbl class), but for studying the details, I haven't found anything better. ( )

Book description
The 11th edition of Goodman & Gilman continues to be the most comprehensive and authoritative single source on the pharmacology of drugs. The first edition was published by Alfred Gilman and Louis Goodman in 1941. It soon became known as the bible of pharmacology and, even though editorship and chapter authorships have changed continuously from edition to edition, this remains the gold standard of pharmacology textbooks....The print version should be on the reference shelf and the digital version on the computer desktop of all practicing pharmacologists, pharmacists, and physicians
