The book has been practically rewritten with varying degrees of changes in chapters though some would seem to be similar to the last edition. Each chapter begins with an overview and the drugs part has a table on monitoring protocols. We have attempted to make the section easy to read and practical apart from redoing almost all the diagrams that depict the mechanism of action of drugs. We have added a drug overview which can serve as a “birds eye” view of the drug for the busy reader. Also, we have changed the headings into easy to read sections with color coded text highlighting aspects of interest like “Uses” which is in green font. A special “Patient Advise” box has been added.
