The twelfth edition of Basic & Clinical Pharmacology continues
the important changes inaugurated in the eleventh edition, with
extensive use of full-color illustrations and expanded coverage of
transporters, pharmacogenomics, and new drugs. Case studies
have been added to several chapters and answers to questions
posed in the case studies now appear at the end of each chapter.

As in prior editions, the book is designed to provide a compre-
hensive, authoritative, and readable pharmacology textbook for

students in the health sciences. Frequent revision is necessary to

keep pace with the rapid changes in pharmacology and therapeu-
tics; the 2–3 year revision cycle of the printed text is among the

shortest in the field and the availability of an online version pro-
vides even greater currency. In addition to the full-color illustra-
tions, other new features have been introduced. The Case Study

Answer section at the end of chapters will make the learning pro-
cess even more interesting and efficient. The book also offers

special features that make it a useful reference for house officers
and practicing clinicians.
