A focus on drug safety and efficacy

Assessing and preventing adverse effects of pharmaceutical products is an important part of medicinal chemistry and drug development. The RSC Drug Discovery and Issues in Toxicology Series includes a broad range of books on drug efficacy and drug safety, or pharmacovigilance.

Take a look at the books below to find out more about issues involved in safety and efficacy of drugs and techniques for their evaluation. All these books are available as eBooks and you can access the front matter, table of contents and the first chapter of all these for free. Why not recommend them to your library?

These titles are a great resource for scientists involved in drug discovery and development and drug metabolism studies. They are also a valuable guide for regulators concerned with the safety evaluation of chemicals and postgraduate medicinal chemists.
