    About this ebook

    Drugs that act upon the respiratory system, cardiovascular system, or urinary system are frequently dispensed in both military and civilian pharmacies. This is because conditions that affect these systems (that is, hypertension affecting the cardiovascular system) affect many people. Consequently, it is imperative that you have an understanding of these systems and the drugs that act on them.

    As with MD0804 (Therapeutics I) and MD0805 (Therapeutics II), anatomy, physiology, and pharmacology are presented in a combined perspective. This is done to help you to understand and remember the actions, uses, side effects, and patient warnings associated with the drugs included in these lessons.

    This subcourse is approved for resident and correspondence course instruction. It reflects the current thought of the Academy of Health Sciences and conforms to printed Department of the Army doctrine as closely as currently possible.
