Study Notes

Introduction to Clinical Pharmacology

Clinical Pharmacology is the study of drugs in humans, taking into account the variable response of patients to drugs and the need for different doses.
Pharmacodynamics is the study of the relationship between the concentration of unbound drugs at the receptor and the drug response, or what the drug does to the body.
Pharmacodynamic effects are usually specific to a class of drugs and depend on the concentration of free drug at its target.
Pharmacodynamic effects are associated with the response at the site of action and the desired clinical response.
The chemical structure of a drug defines its biological activity and can determine its mechanism of action and the localization of its site of drug action.
The chemical structure of a drug may also give rise to unwanted side effects and toxicity.
