Pharmacology is a branch of pharmaceutical sciences that is concerned with the study of a drug or medication action, where a drug can be broadly or narrowly defined as any man-made, natural, or endogenous molecule which exerts a biochemical or physiological effect on the cell, tissue, organ, or organism. Pharmacology is the study of how a drug affects a biological system and how the body responds to the drug. The discipline encompasses the sources, chemical properties, biological effects, and therapeutic uses of drugs.
Pharmacology is a branch of medicine and pharmaceutical science concerned with the study of the action of drugs or drugs, where a drug can be broadly or narrowly defined in any molecule inside the body, which has a biochemical or physiological effect. organism or organism (sometimes the term pharmacon is used as a term to include these endogenous and exogenous bioactive species). More often, it is the study of interactions that occur between a living organism and chemicals that affect normal or abnormal biochemical function. If the substances have medicinal properties, they are considered to be pharmaceuticals.
The domain includes drug composition and properties, drug synthesis and design, molecular and cellular mechanisms, organ / system mechanisms, signal transduction / cell communication, molecular diagnostics, therapy and applications of medical and antipathogenic abilities. The two major areas of pharmacology are pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics. Pharmacodynamics studies on the effects of a drug on biological systems and pharmacokinetics pharmatudie the effects of a drug. In general terms, pharmacodynamics deals with biological receptors and pharmacokinetics deals with the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) of chemicals in biological systems. Pharmacology is not synonymous with pharmacy and the two terms are often confused. Pharmacology, a biomedical science, deals with the research.
