Writing a textbook on ‘Pharmacology,' a discipline that deals with the study of drugs and their effects on living systems, is a terrifying task. It is a branch of research that studies the interactions of chemical compounds with the systems in our bodies, as well as the effects of medications on our biological systems. Despite the fact that medicine is the most dynamic of the biological disciplines, pharmacology is one of the best among health science subjects. The first edition of Prof. Dr. Manimekalai & Co.'s textbook "Short Manual of Pharmacology for Allied Health Science" is divided into ten chapters and has been written extraordinarily well in a straightforward and intelligible style for any allied health science student to learn and grasp the subject with ease. The first section is about pharmacology in general. The second section covers medicines that affect the autonomic nervous system. From the third to the seventh chapter, medications acting on the kidney, autacoids and respiratory system drugs, central nervous system drugs, drugs acting on the gastrointestinal tract drugs, and drugs acting on blood are reviewed. The authors provide an overview of the relationships between hormones, which are physiologic constituents of the body, as well as their pharmacologic use in replacement therapies and related endocrine dysfunction, in the eighth and ninth chapters, respectively, while the authors cover the various treatments with drugs that block or slow cell growth, primarily given for cancer, in the next chapter on Chemotherapy. The final chapter delves into the peculiarities of several medicines that play a key part in chronic pain management, making the entire book a must-read for every allied health science student. The authors have made a noteworthy effort in this area, giving an outstanding condensing of the huge data so that the student can approach the subject in a more systematic way. Pharmacology is one of the core-subjects in any allied health science school. This manual's content contains factual facts as well as a sufficient thematic message and is effectively synced, which is a critical element for any undergraduate to study and comprehend properly.
