Space Pharmacology is a review of the current knowledge regarding the use of pharmaceuticals
during spaceflights. It is a comprehensive review of the literature addressing each area of
pharmacokinetics and each major physiological system in turn. Every section begins with a topic
overview and is followed by a discussion of published data from spaceflight and from ground
experiments meant to model the spaceflight situation. Includes a discussion looking forward to
the new medical challenges we are likely to face on longer duration exploration missions. This
book is a snapshot of our current knowledge that also highlights areas of unknown.
