Ethnicity and Psychopharmacology

Detailed are the pharmacogenetic, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic mechanisms involved in differing responses to drug treatment among various ethnic groups living in the United States. Readers will learn an integrative approach in which ethnic and cultural diversity and biological diversity are taken into account and treatment is tailored to specific individual characteristics.Ruiz, Pedro is the author of 'Ethnicity and Psychopharmacology' with ISBN 9780880482745 and ISBN 0880482745.
