It is the authors view that there is an important need to draw the attention of both students and practitioners concered with drug therapy to recent and continuing developments in the pharmaceutical sciences. The purpose of the Topics of Pharmacy series is to fulfil this need by providing up-to-date, concise, readable, accounts of current aspects of pharmacy - with particular emphasis on those aspects of the pharmaceutical sciences related to clinical. Each volume in the series has a theme, and each constituent chapter provides a concise account of a particular area; the accounts are intended to be introductions to a topic rather than comprehensive and complete reviews, therefore wherever possible, each chapter is appended with a short bibliography for further study. The series is aimed at a readership comprised of senior undergraduate and postgraduate students in pharmacy, medicine, nursing and allied health sciences, and practitioners in these fields.
