Dear PharmPK Members,
PK Tutor is a self-paced program that graphically explores the
principles embodied in pharmacokinetics. We at Summit are at a
milestone in our development of this low cost (let's say "student-
affordable"), interactive, Excel-based application primarily designed
for Pharmacy School pharmacokinetics students.
You can read about and download a preview copy of PK Tutor at:
http://www.summitpk.com/tools/tools.htm
Our Intent is to make several versions of this software differing
only in that each will correspond to the nomenclature (formula
expressions) used in the most commonly used and required
pharmacokinetics textbooks, so that the formulae presented in the
text matches that depicted in PK Tutor.
My Search is to find out what are the most popular pharmacokinetics
textbooks used by Pharmacy Schools today?! If you have quantitative
data, all the better. But if you simply want to mention your
preference as a teacher, then I'll do the quantitative part. If you
are a publisher, send an evaluation copy. In what ever way you can
contribute to this survey, I would be most appreciative. And it
might be very informative for you teachers to discover, as well.
Best Regards and Thanks,
David S. Farrier

Dear Group,
My last attempt failed; probably too wordy. So ... if you are in
academia...
What textbook do you favor for teaching pharmacokinetics??
I'll compile the responses and post the results.
David

David,
I'm in industry, but I use Larry's Applied Clinical Pharmacokinetics
also.
I can't say that I'm using a book released yesterday, however. :)

[There is a list at http://www.boomer.org/pkin/book.html, I'll have
to get the details on the 'new' book ;-) - db]

Hi Larry,
One would think that the self-serving would know that the new
"handbook" cited is actually copyright, 2006. :-)

Hi!.
I think Dr. Birkett's book Donald J. Birkett, "Pharmacokinetics Made
Easy"
(McGraw-Hill Book Company Australia 2003), is a very good primer.
As a related question, let me ask: what would be a good (I should
probably write "easy") introductory book to modelling. Please bear in
mind I might be mathematically impaired (I'm an MD. Dyscalculia is
almost a requirement for some medical schools...).
Thanks.

***There is no single textbook that I recommend across the board. It
depends,
among other things, on whom you're teaching and at what level. For
example, as
an introduction to the subject for medical students, I recommend the
relevant
chapters in "The Oxford Textbook of Clinical Pharmacology and Drug
Therapy" by
Grahame-Smith & Aronson (Oxford University Press). For more advanced
teaching
of the concepts I recommmend "Clinical Pharmacokinetics: Concepts and
Applications" by Rowland & Tozer (Lea & Febiger). For data analysis I
recommend "Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Data Analysis:
Concepts and
Applications" by Gabrielsson & Weiner (Apotekarsocieteten).
Regards
Jeff
