These are real pages from the book. The table of contents is the full one: 7 parts and 61 topics.
You've read the page on ACE inhibitors three times. You close your notes...
...and you can't remember why ramipril causes a cough or what happens to potassium. It was just lines of text, one after another.
Here ACE inhibitors are one drawn page: the enzyme ramipril blocks, the -pril ending that gives the family away, and what to watch: cough, potassium and blood pressure after the first dose.
And on the pages next to it, every drug class has its own: beta-blockers, statins, anticoagulants, inhalers and insulin.
First you understand why it works that way. Then the 5 steps stick on their own.
I. The method and the basics · II. Heart, circulation and blood · III. Lungs, gut and kidneys · IV. Pain, brain and nerves · V. Infection · VI. Hormones and metabolism · VII. Safety and revision: 65 illustrated pages
Imagine this:
Instead of rereading half a page on the analgesic ladder without being able to picture it...
...you open the page and find the three steps drawn as a ladder: paracetamol and NSAIDs at the bottom, codeine in the middle, morphine and oxycodone at the top, with adjuvants at every step.
And beta-blockers, statins, antibiotics, inhalers and insulin become drawings and tables you can read at a glance.
You stop learning by rote and start understanding.
That's exactly what Pharmacology Illustrated for Nursing does. It isn't “just another textbook”. It's 7 parts and 61 illustrated topics, and at the end all the drug name endings on one page and the most common mix-ups side by side. Because what your brain sees in order, it remembers.
Because what your brain sees organized, it remembers.
The method you'll use on every page: the 5 steps, generic names and the endings that give each family away. Plus receptors, ADME, half-life, routes and one formula for drug calculations, as a study exercise. So no drug class starts from zero.
ACE inhibitors, ARBs, beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, the three diuretic families, nitrates, digoxin, statins, antiplatelets, warfarin, DOACs and heparins.
Reliever and preventer inhalers, antimuscarinics, PPIs, antiemetics, the four families of laxatives and sick day guidance for the kidneys.
The analgesic ladder, paracetamol, NSAIDs, opioids, benzodiazepines, antidepressants, antipsychotics, lithium, antiepileptics and time-critical Parkinson's medicines.
How antibiotics work, penicillins, cephalosporins and carbapenems, macrolides, tetracyclines, quinolones, gentamicin, vancomycin, antivirals and antifungals.
The four insulin types, recognising hypoglycaemia, metformin, the other diabetes medicines, corticosteroids and thyroid medicines.
Your final revision: side effect, allergy or anaphylaxis, the interactions that come up most, high-risk medicines and the drug round question in 5 steps. Then all the endings on one page and the most common mix-ups side by side, to go over the night before.
At the end of the book: All the drug name endings on one page and the most common mix-ups, side by side.
Test yourself one drug class at a time, with every answer explained on the page, so you know exactly what you've understood before your exam or placement.
The drug names and classes most often confused, side by side with a drawing that tells them apart, for a quick revision the night before.

For adult nursing students, Nursing Associate and Pharmacy Technician apprentices, healthcare assistants and carers trained to give medicines, and nurses on a Return to Practice course. It starts from the basics (generic names, how drugs work) and goes up to high-risk medicines, interactions and the most common mix-ups, so it works as a first study guide or as a quick refresher if you already work on the ward. Have a look at the contents above to see every topic.
The British National Formulary (BNF), NICE guidance and Clinical Knowledge Summaries, MHRA Drug Safety Updates, the NMC Future nurse proficiencies and UKHSA antimicrobial stewardship guidance (Start Smart then Focus). It uses UK generic names throughout, such as paracetamol and adrenaline, and no brand names.
No. It's an independent illustrated study guide. It isn't published or endorsed by the NHS, NICE, the BNF, the MHRA, the NMC or any university, and it doesn't come with a certificate, CPD hours or a qualification.
No. It's study material to help you understand and revise. It doesn't give doses or tell you what to give a patient: the drug calculations page is a study exercise. It doesn't replace your course, your placement supervision, your employer's medicines policies, the BNF, the prescriber or the pharmacist, and it contains no treatment plans for individual patients.
No. The questions in Bonus Book 1 are written for this book and aren't official questions from any exam or university. They're there to help you practise.
Yes. It's a high-resolution PDF: you can print the whole book or just the pages you want to keep in your placement folder.
You have a 30-day guarantee: tell us what didn't work and we'll refund 100%.
You don't have to reread the same page hoping it sticks this time.
You don't have to memorise drug names you can't picture.
And you certainly don't have to walk into your exam not knowing where to start.
There's a simpler way. And it's one click away. Now it's over to you.
