Editorial Reviews for Human Drug Metabolism: An Introduction
|
|
Drug metabolism is a core area of pharmacology. Before any drug can be licensed it is essential to know how the body metabolises the drug, and the short and long-term effects it has on the body. It is an area of rapid advancement, which brings together the fields of pharmacy, pharmacology and medicine. This new text provides a concise, user-friendly introduction to drug metabolism that is ideal for undergraduates. Focusing on a conceptual understanding of the drug metabolism system, the book illustrates the basic mechanisms on how xenobiotics are detected, chemically modified and then eliminated from human systems.

Customer Rating: 
Summary: Best metabolism book on the market
Comment: As an instructor of drug metabolism, I have read a lot of metabolism texts. This text is especially relevant for pharmacy students and medical students, but also for graduate students in some fields (pharmacology, human toxicology, human biochemistry). It focuses on its title, "human drug metabolism", and is written very clearly.
The author is British and occasionally overdoes the British professorial humor, yet it is the most readable and accessible (and still accurate and in-depth) text on the market! My pharmacy students actually read it, rather than using it as a paper weight.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Very disappointed
Comment: I have never written a review before, but I was so disappointed that I decided to write this one. I found that material is presented in hard to understand format. Manuscript is supposed to be an introduction; however, it provides almost no background information related to biology, biochemistry or chemistry. Author lists numerous drugs, while providing hardly any information about their function or chemical structure. Quite complex phenomena are mentioned in one sentence, while author devotes half of the paragraph contemplating why students would find this information difficult.
Although I can't claim an expertise in writing, I rarely have been so annoyed by the writing style and the lack of content of the scientific text.
