If you're looking for an alternative book for pharmacology in MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) other than KD Tripathi, there are several good options available. Here are some popular pharmacology books recommended by medical students and professionals:
"Essentials of Medical Pharmacology" by K.D. Tripathi (Yes, I know you mentioned other than KD Tripathi, but this is still a widely used and respected book.)
"Goodman & Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics" by Laurence L. Brunton, Bjorn C. Knollmann, and Randa Hilal-Dandan - This is considered the gold standard textbook in pharmacology and provides in-depth coverage of the subject.
"Rang and Dale's Pharmacology" by James M. Ritter, Rod J. Flower, Graeme Henderson, and Yoon Kong Loke - Another excellent pharmacology textbook with a focus on understanding drug mechanisms and clinical applications.
"Lippincott Illustrated Reviews: Pharmacology" by Richard A. Harvey and Pamela C. Champe - This book is well-known for its concise and visual presentation of pharmacological concepts.
"Basic and Clinical Pharmacology" by Bertram G. Katzung, Anthony J. Trevor, and Marieke Kruidering-Hall - This comprehensive book covers both basic and clinical aspects of pharmacology.
"Pharmacology: Prep Manual for Undergraduates" by Tara Shanbhag and Smita Shenoy - A helpful book for quick revision and understanding of pharmacology concepts.

Remember that different books suit different learning styles, so you may want to explore these options and see which one aligns best with your preferences and needs. Some students also find it helpful to refer to more than one book to gain a broader understanding of the subject. Always consult with your professors or seniors for their recommendations and to know which books are more commonly used in your specific MBBS program.
