pharmacy - struggling with lecture vs textbooks

for formulations of drugs aultons is a solid book but im struggling for the right testbook to use for cardiovascular systems and respiratory

rang and dales pharmacology is recommended but i find that it lacks detail about body anatomy, so i have bought books from the reading list but i cant decide which one to use and im worried come exam time ill have notes that are too detailed as some lectures dont really explain stuff properly

Hi, sorry that you are the prey of whales; however, there are billions of you so you might be ok! :lol:

Also sorry that you have had no reply for so long!

It is not clear which subject you are struggling with: you mention formulation [pharmaceutics], as well as anatomy [r u in first year?] as well as pharmacology [CVS & resp].

The exact syllabus will depend on your uni and the lecturers' research interests - learning detail can only be a good thing as long as you do not get carried away with irrelevant material in exams [read the Qs carefully TWICE!]

For anatomy, the choice is wide: for pharmacology in the pharmacy course [I have done BSc in the former, but not the latter] there is very good coverage on the CVS + resp system in Review of Medical Pharmacology [McGraw-Hill] while at the same time not far too detailed. I have no info at all on -ceutics books.
Please say what subject you are talking about!!
