Pharmaceutical Ethics is an important text, which aims to provide
the ethical guidelines much needed by the pharmaceutical industry.
By focusing on many of the central issues such as the ethical
aspects of clinical trials, informed consent, physician or patient
choice and pharmaceutical advertising, this text will provide very
good coverage of an area which perhaps still lacks coherent
instruction.
* Covers ethical issues involved in the testing and use of
pharmaceuticals on human beings
* Investigates issues such as whether choice of drug should lie
with the physician or the patient
* Looks at a wide variety of subjects connected with pharmaceutical
ethics.
* Focuses specifically on the issues surrounding the pharmaceutical
industry, not medicine in general.
* Fulfils an important need in the Pharmaceutical Industry.
