Basic Pharmacology

By Josephine Randall

Pharmacology is a specialized branch of pharmaceutical sciences dedicated to the study of drug actions and their effects on medications. It examines the interactions between organisms and chemicals that influence biochemical functions. Pharmacology encompasses a wide range of topics, including drug design and synthesis, drug composition and properties, molecular and cellular mechanisms, molecular diagnostics, chemical biology, organ mechanisms, therapeutic applications, and antipathogenic capabilities. The field is primarily divided into two main branches: pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics. Pharmacodynamics focuses on how drugs affect biological systems, while pharmacokinetics examines the impact of biological systems on drug behavior. It also studies topics like absorption, metabolism, distribution, and excretion of chemicals from biological systems. This book elucidates the concepts and innovative models around prospective developments with respect to pharmacology. It attempts to understand the multiple branches that fall under this discipline and how such concepts have practical applications. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book.
