Color Atlas of Pharmacology 5th Edition PDF download

In the European Union, about 25 new chemical preparations are approved annually for distribution as pharmaceutical products, approximately 10 of which are “innovative” drugs with a novel molecular mechanism of action. “New” is not always “better,” thus new drugs undergo evaluation of their beneficial effects to establish whether new substances reflect an actual therapeutic improvement compared to existing structures, therefore justifying a possible increase in costs to the collective of insured persons. The innovative strength of pharmaceutical manufacturers. licensing procedures, and the assessment of benefits, together form the basis for successful drug treatment, but the decisive factor is ultimately ensuring that individual patients have access to optimal “customized” treatment. This “therapeutic art” requires that pharmacological principles be understood, and not just memorized.
