PHARMACOLOGY

ABOUT MEDICAL PHARMACOLOGY:-

Pharmacology is the study of the action of drugs on a biologic system. It incorporates components of medicine and biology, and how they interact with each other.

Drugs can refer to many different substances, and are defined as any substance (man-made, naturally occurring or endogenous molecules) that exerts an effect on a cell, tissue, or organ within the body.

Pharmacology deals with the origin of drugs, their characteristics, and their effects, such as biologic, chemical or therapeutic, on a living system.
