Lippincott® Illustrated Reviews: Pharmacology (8th Edition, 3rd South Asian Edition, 2025) is the most widely used visual resource for mastering drug mechanisms. This edition is specifically modified for the Indian subcontinent by Dr. Sangeeta Sharma and Dr. Dinesh K. Badyal to align with the NMC Competency-Based (CBME) curriculum.

🌟 Key Features of the 2025 Edition
