Dictionary of Pharmacy

The Dictionary of Pharmacy is the only English-language reference currently available that provides a comprehensive list of terms of special importance to pharmacy students, educators, and practitioners. In addition, you'll find abbreviations, Latin terms, weights and measures, and practice standards, plus the periodic table, the Pharmacist's Code of Ethics, lists of professional associations and organizations, and much more. From a- and a priori to zwitterion and zymogen, the Dictionary of Pharmacy covers the bases. With this one-of-a-kind study/practice companion, you'll never be stymied by pharmaceutical terminology again. The American Journal of Pharmaceutical Education says this book is "ACCURATE, UP-TO-DATE, AND WELL ORGANIZED. A valuable companion to a medical dictionary for pharmacy students and anyone else needing help with terminology unique to the field of pharmacy." And Choice Magazine says, "The work's real value is that, unlike other medical or pharmaceutical dictionaries, it brings together terms from a number of disciplines and defines them in the context of pharmacy without resorting to overly technical language. . . . RECOMMENDED."
