Book Description
This book fills the void to provide a comprehensive review of the theoretical knowledge and scope of opioid pharmacotherapy in pain medicine. While the information provided is obtainable in other major texts already in print, the present format style plus the illustrations will make easy reading and fast accessibility of information on opioids available. Information provided is based on clinical practice rather than pure experimental for use in daily practice.
Editorial Reviews
Review
From the reviews:
"This review of the pharmacology and clinical uses of opioids provides an overview of pain anatomy and physiology and … how to treat different painful conditions with narcotics. … The book is intended for any physician who treats patients with acute or chronic pain, making it appropriate for pain specialists and primary care physicians. However, any surgeon or physician … would find this book helpful. … This is an excellent addition to the field of pain medicine, bridging the gap between pharmacology and practice." (Tariq M. Malik, Doody’s Review Service, June, 2008)
