Popular among students and clinicians for its easy-to-read, case-study format, Winter’s Basic Clinical Pharmacokinetics, 7th Edition, clarifies complex concepts to help you confidently apply pharmacokinetics and therapeutic drug monitoring to patient care. This straightforward text is divided into two parts, reviewing basic pharmacokinetic principles in Part I and illustrating the clinical application of these principles to the most commonly encountered problems in Part II. The significantly updated and expanded 7th Edition adds essential coverage of the use of pharmacokinetics in managing obesity, pregnancy,  as well as anticoagulation.  

• NEW! Chapters unique to this 7th Edition equip students with proven pharmacokinetic approaches to obesity, pregnancy,  and anticoagulation. 

• Straightforward two-part format reinforces fundamental concepts and related clinical applications to ensure an advanced-level mastery. 

• Case-based approach, similar to Applied Therapeutics, cultivates essential clinical reasoning capabilities. 

• Detailed drug monographs familiarize students with the most commonly prescribed drugs for a wide range of problems and conditions.
