The series is popular among healthcare students, residents, and newly qualified practitioners for its concise and simple approach and excellent illustrations. G‐protein‐coupled receptors (see below) form a family of receptors with seven membrane‐spanning helices. Covering a wide range of topics, ideal as introductory texts for teaching, learning and revision, and are useful throughout university and beyond. The internationally best-selling Medical Pharmacology at a Glance is the ideal companion for all medical and healthcare students, providing a visual overview of pharmacology, and describing the basic principles of drug action, interaction, absorption, and excretion.
