Dictionary of Pharmaceutical Medicine

This dictionary is aimed primarily at beginners entering the new discipline of pharmaceutical medicine, an area comprising aspects of toxicology, pharmacology, pharmaceutics, epidemiology, statistics, drug regulatory and legal affairs, medicine and marketing. But also more experienced colleagues in departments engaged in clinical development, as well as researchers and marketing experts in the pharmaceutical industry should find concise and up-to-date information. The book is completed by a list of about 1000 abbreviations encountered in pharmaceutical medicine, and a compilation of important addresses of national and international health authorities, as well as international organizations. The content of the book should help in a better understanding of the technical jargon which tends to develop in this area.
