I have to disagree with the other reviewers- this book is ballsack. It's full of errors, the questions suck, and there are like 4 at the end of each chapter. There is very little room for inaccurate medical texts in my library. I have replaced this book with Katzung and Trevor's Review and you should too. It takes a minimal amount of competency to write/edit these review books- I hope whoever put this book together is treating their cocaine addiction w/ propranolol. Here are a few errors from chapter 1:
1. On page 18, under item number 2, it should read "excretion rate" not "excretion ratio".
2. The equation at the top of page 21 C=C0-e^(-kt) is wrong; here's why:
if dC/dt=-kC
then dC/C=-kdt
and 'dC/C='-kdt, integrating from C0 to C and 0 to t respectively,
we get lnC- lnC0=-kt or lnC=lnC0-kt
taking the exponential.... e^(lnC)=e^(lnC0-kt) == C=e^lnC0 * e^(-kt) <<< ------------ author confused this log rule?
simplifying leaves us: C=C0 * e^(-kt)
3. In the answer to question 1.6, there is an error: the calculation should be Vd = 100 mg/ 20 mcg/mL (not mg) = 100 mg/ 20 mg/L
Math errors are particularly insidious because the uninitiated (read: med students) generally fail to catch them. For example, clueless med student that I am, had I not been doing pharmacokinetics research, I would've never spotted #2.
