Study Notes
Medicinal Substances in Pharmacology
- Substances with medicinal properties include drugs, compounds, and therapeutic agents used for treatment, prevention, or diagnosis of diseases.
Pharmacology and Biological Systems
- Pharmacodynamics studies the effects of drugs on biological systems, focusing on how drugs interact with target cells, tissues, and organs.
Focus of Pharmacokinetics
- Pharmacokinetics primarily studies the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of drugs, analyzing how the body affects a specific drug over time.
Core Study of Pharmacology
- Pharmacology primarily studies the biochemical and physiological effects of drugs on living organisms, as well as their mechanisms of action and potential therapeutic uses.
Scope of Pharmacology
- The field of pharmacology encompasses various disciplines including medical chemistry, pharmacognosy, toxicology, and clinical pharmacology, examining drug interactions, side effects, and therapeutic outcomes.
