Study Notes
Introduction to Pharmacology
- "Pharmacology" originates from Greek words "pharmakon" meaning drug or poison, and "logia" meaning study or knowledge.
- Focuses on drugs commonly used in disease treatment.
Historical Development
- The late 18th and early 19th centuries marked significant advancements in pharmacology.
- Francois Magendie, a French physiologist/pharmacologist, and his student Claude Bernard initiated experimental approaches in pharmacology.
- Emphasis on animal experiments as a basis for knowledge generation in scientific medicine.
- Investigated various body systems including the heart, venous system, blood vessels, liver, and intestinal absorption.
Impact on Clinical Practice
- Magendie's work laid the groundwork for clinical observations and laboratory testing to inform medical protocols.
- Focus on understanding drug actions on organ and tissue levels.
Pharmacoepidemiology
- Concentrates on clinical patient outcomes deriving from therapeutic interventions.
- Utilizes clinical epidemiology methods to assess the effects of drugs on health.
- Evaluates beneficial and adverse drug effects along with genetic variations influencing drug responses.
- Investigates duration-response relationships, clinical drug interactions, and medication non-adherence effects.
Criteria for Inclusion in the Essential Drugs List (EDL)
- Must meet the needs of the majority of patients across all health care levels.
- Should be manufacturable by accredited pharmaceutical companies from locally sourced or imported bulk materials.
- Preference for generic forms over trade or brand names; aligns with the International Non-proprietary Name (INN) standards.
- Excludes drugs with unproven or dubious therapeutic effects.
