Which reference focuses on pharmacology?

  1. Goodman and Gilman's

  2. Lexicomp

  3. Martindale

  4. Index Nominum

The correct answer is: Goodman and Gilman's

Goodman and Gilman's is the correct answer because it is a widely recognized and authoritative reference specifically focused on pharmacology. Goodman and Gilman's "The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics" is considered a cornerstone textbook in pharmacology, providing in-depth information on the mechanisms of action, uses, adverse effects, and more for various drugs. On the other hand, the other options are not specifically focused on pharmacology. Lexicomp is a drug information and clinical content provider, Martindale is a reference mainly for pharmaceutical information, and Index Nominum is a resource for drug names.
