Pharmacology of Essential Medicines

The common people, the common diseases are treated by “Essential drugs”. There are many books in pharmacology, but drugs containing pharmacology of essential drugs are rare so far my knowledge goes. In this book, I have tried to compile pharmacology of the essential drugs. The essential drugs are available as generic drug name. Here some proprietory brand names are also given.

Bhattacharya (Principal, COM and JNMH), Dr. Bhaskar, Dr. Ritesh Singh or Prof. Kalyan Bhattacharya, Dr. (Mrs.) Susmita Bhattacharya, Dr. S. Roy, Dr. (Mrs.) Chitra Chatterjee, Prof. S. Deb (Ex.
