Introduction to the Principles of Veterinary Pharmacology

Advances in drug development over the past 50 years for human diseases have facilitated an increase in prescribed drugs in veterinary medicine. This textbook reorients the general principles of pharmacology from humans to animals to better engage veterinary students and practitioners. It explores the general principles of pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics before applying them to clinical pharmacology, dose calculations, and toxicity. Terminology is presented simply, and drug examples are omitted to maintain clarity and focus.
