There are various ways of studying the Materia Medica but to memorize and reproduce the same may be a tough task for a student.
This book comes to equip the student well before the exams and approach their viva with confidence.
The author has covered seventy drugs in this book. Each drug starts with a brief introduction, keynotes, comparison with other drugs and important questions of last twenty years are given. It also includes pictures that will help the student to memorize the drug well.
The aim of this book is to help students achieve excellence in exams. This book will be of great help in this exam oriented era but a student must always remember that excellence in practice will be achieved only with a life long study of Materia Medica, perceiving the personality of the drug with firm grasp of our philosophical foundation.
