Proposed changes in practice legislation will allow podiatrists to
prescribe a limited range of drugs and dressings. It is therefore
now imperative that students and practitioners understand
pharmacology. Not only the mechanisms of action of drugs, but also
their potential side-effects and interactions with other drugs
taken by the patient.
This book will cover both basic and clinical pharmacology. The
podiatrist’s role in examination, assessment and diagnosis are
considered.
