An acknowledged expert on the history of modern pharmacology and drug therapy, John Parascandola here brings together 19 of his most important papers on these subjects. The book is divided into three topical sections. In the first group of articles, devoted to pharmacological theory, Dr. Parascandola sheds new light on our understanding of the history of such key pharmacological concepts as receptor theory, structure-activity relationships, and the role of stereochemistry in physiological action. The second section focuses on the discipline of pharmacology and offers insights into the pivotal role played by John J. Abel in the shaping of the field, the development of pharmacology in schools of pharmacy and in the Federal Government, and the national pharmacological society's membership ban on pharmacologists working in industry. The final section on drug therapy discusses various drugs from antibiotics to sulfones, and their use in the treatment of diseases such as leprosy and syphilis.

Clinical Pharmacology & Toxicology refers to the study of pharmaceuticals in people. To that end, clinical pharmacologists focus on both improving the effectiveness of already available medications and creating brand new ones. In light of the thalidomide disaster, contemporary clinical pharmacology was born, yet nowadays, most adverse medication responses are dosage related. To begin with, doctors would utilise TDM to adjust a patient's dose based on their specific needs. In recent years, pharmacogenetics has been employed for this, and it has also proven helpful in selecting appropriate medications. Understanding how medications are absorbed, distributed, and excreted (pharmacokinetics) has allowed for advancements in this field. Evaluation of renal function and clarification of the pharmacokinetic implications of compromised renal function have been at the heart of this work. Clinical toxicology is a branch of toxicology that deals with the care of poisoned patients at the bedside. This includes making a definitive toxicological diagnosis, figuring out how bad the poisoning is right now and what the long-term outlook is, and choosing treatments, including antidotes. A clinical toxicologist's expertise in the possible dangers of drugs and chemicals enables them to aid in the prevention and preparation of chemical overdoses. Clinical disease is mostly brought on by toxicants. Because of this, clinical toxicology is included in internal medicine and greatly benefits from the expertise of other medical fields. Clinical toxicology calls for expert knowledge of pharmacology.
