Pharmacology is a core branch of pharmacy in the health sciences. Pharmacology is the science of how drugs act on biological systems and how the body responds to the drug. The study of pharmacology encompasses the sources, chemical properties, biological effects and therapeutic uses of drugs. The pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetic studies helps to adjust the dose in the clinical wellness
Pharmacy uses the knowledge derived from pharmacology to achieve optimal therapeutic outcomes through the appropriate preparation and dispensing of medicines.
Pharmacology integrates the knowledge of many disciplines, including medicine, pharmacy, dentistry, nursing and veterinary medicine. This integrative nature allows pharmacology to make unique and significant contributions to human health.
