Pharmythology

Ever tried to decode the side effects gabbled during the last 5 seconds of a drug commercial?

 

Pharmythology is for anyone with an inquisitive mind, who yet wants a break from the seriousness and rigidity of the modern world, where automation and liability protection are predominant and where information is too tedious - if not flavorless - to be meaningful.

 

Using simple language and a relaxed, curious tone, this book will provide you with a framework to derive unique insights and resolutions to common questions and modern dilemmas surrounding pharmaceuticals.

 

Drawing insights from scientific sources while also tapping into folk culture, the book presents a unique journey to explore the concrete, subtle, forgotten, and unconventional truths surrounding medications.

 

Find out how available drugs never got to be FDA-approved (and why that might be a good thing), how a venomous bite is revolutionizing diabetes treatment, and what tragedies shaped the way we practice pharmacy today.
