Drug Screening Methods

*It gives authenticated knowledge about simple screening procedures that explicity demonstrate the nuances of sympathetic, parasympathetic nervous system and gut motility to the students of pharmacology, *The unique specialty of this book is that it guides specifically in the field of ocular and cardiovascular pharmacology on drug screening methods and the safe guards to be observed, *Instead of an incomplete or lending a myopic view to drug discovery programmed without the methods for assessing safely of novel molecules, it guides on the toxicity studies which are critical as to relate the same to measure efficacy profile of a novel molecule and to determine and weight its future utility, *This book amply informs about the practically used techniques both in academic and pharmaceutical industry.
