I have studied from KD Tripathi and now I have a proper understanding of it. What is the best book of choice for students? Do you think KD Tripathi or Lippincott is better? Or can you share if you know any other understandable book? I would appreciate a recommendation

Lipincott is incomplete for Theory exams. But the content it has is gold. KDT is complete but is extensive at times. You can maybe pair Lippincott with a smaller read if possible (shanbag for eg.)

Pharmacology - being a subject that really need good references for better understanding - it’s a great topic for discussion for medicos.

Being from physiotherapy background and final year student, we do have pharmacology in our second year.
We study it according to our field in short and concise way. And we prefer, Padmaja Udaykumar authors book as it has an excellent explanation of complex topics in simple manner.

I’d suggest KD always but in short of time use Lipincott, both are good. KD is must.

KDT is unavoidable one! but emergency situations (near exams) Pharmacology for Medical Graduates by Tara V Shanbhag is condensed version of KDT and it is really a good book!
