Pharmacotherapy Casebook ― A Patient-focused Approach

More than 160 cases help students develop the problem-solving and decision-making skills necessary to succeed in real-world clinical practice

Pharmacotherapy Casebook provides the case studies students need to learn how to identify and resolve drug therapy problems they will most likely to encounter in real-world practice.

This new edition is packed with 160 patient cases and makes the ideal study companion to the ninth edition of DiPiro’s Pharmacotherapy: A Pathophysiologic Approach.

• Realistic patient presentations include medical history, physical examination, and laboratory data, followed by a series of questions using a systematic, problem-solving approach
• Compelling range of cases – from the uncomplicated (a single disease state) to the complex (multiple disease states and drug-related problems)
• Diverse authorship from more than 190 clinicians from nearly 100 institutions
