Pharmacy books to buy for second year
It's a few weeks before I go back to university and I was wondering which books were most important for second year? I didn't buy any in first year, everyone said there was no point and I just sort of ambled along taking out random books from the library, but I don't want to do that this year. So which ones did people find most useful? 
Tricky to answer really as different schools do different topics in different years/orders!
I've just finished second year and used these most often:
- Rang and Dale's Pharmacology (A must buy in my opinion!)
- FASTtrack: Pharmaceutics - Dosage Form and Design by David Jones
- Medical Pharmacology at a Glance (Good for summaries but Rang and Dale goes into more depth)
- Chemistry³: Introducing inorganic, organic and physical chemistry (Check the library has this, rather than buying)
- Aultons Pharmaceutics
Thats what I can remember off the top of my head, I'll post back if any others spring to mind

I bought rang and dales, but then I ended up always doing my projects/essays, and studying, in the library so never actually used my own copy!
I used aultons pharmaceutics, I'm currently in third year and wondering is there any point of me buying it just for my last year? Thanks

The must buys can be found on the pharmacy guide alongside some other interesting books..I would go have a look at potential books in the library and buy if you really need to:
