My boyfriend, who got over a 245 on his boards, studied only pharm from FA, and he said it was sufficient if you KNOW EVERYTHING. I think the principles like kinetics/dynamics you might want to read elsewhere to get a better undestanding. But that is my personal opinion.

FA 2005 is enuf for Pharma but if coupled it with Katzung Board Review it gives an inner confidence (somehow it did to me ) the only difference in the newer editions is that given by a veteran of this forum who said there r mistakes in the FA now i havent seen the new FA but i have got same comments from other people Mind u there r some people on forums who advocate some books who infact r representative of that Particular company for eg. I came across a post on Usmleforums where a guy who worked for the FA ppl had actually reinforced the copyright law n bugged everyone who was asking for links to books as a result many of the links r not working so i can imagine there certain other ppl who give boost to their own personal books just by recommending them so in the end I recommend that u do both Katzung n FA just to be on the safe side PS i m not repeat not accusing neone of doing the same here in this post but i have just shared my opinion n i further apologise if i have offended neone

Hi I completely agree with the comment above, i just started katzung today ironically, and am doing the questions, definitely FA is not enough. I feel better using both FA and Katzung. Thanks for the comment i appreciate the help. all the best/ lisa
