I am just starting 2nd year. I bought first aid, BRS physiology, and RR Goljan pathology, in addition to keeping up with GT. What would be a good book for pharmacology? On our syllabus it says to get Basic and Clinical Pharmacology, but that book is over 1,000 pages???!!! Any other recommendations? thanks you for your input.

I'll also be a second year and most people are just telling me to use my class handouts and flashcards. I did use Lippincott in undergrad for pharm and liked it, additionally there is the katzung and lange pharm which I heard were also decent. I honestly usually just go on amazon and search which books have good reviews and base my decision on that along with looking through their "book preview".

I can't really comment on Pharm for the boards, but we just finished up our class. Katzung is great, but I got the Board Review version and it was awesome! I didn't end up reading 75% of the book, but the practice questions and flow charts are money.
