Produktbeschreibung

In this third edition, the editors have accounted for the numerous changes for managing poison ingestion and have again provided an essential text for students of pharmacy and the health sciences on the basic principles of clinical toxicology. The book's focus on the fundamentals helps the reader understand why events occur and why a particular treatment is selected. Each chapter profiles classes of toxic agents, their common sources and usual methods of intoxication, incidence and frequency of poisoning, mechanisms of action, clinical signs and symptoms of poisoning and management guidance. The text includes illustrative case studies, carefully selected to reinforce the information covered.
