📖 1. Pharmacology Definition

🔑 Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Pharmacology: The scientific study of drugs, including their properties, effects, mechanisms of action, and interactions within biological systems. It encompasses how drugs are absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and excreted (ADME).

  • Pharmacokinetics: The branch of pharmacology concerned with the movement of drugs within the body, including absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion. It determines the onset, intensity, and duration of a drug's effect.

  • Pharmacodynamics: The study of how drugs produce their effects on the body, focusing on mechanisms of action, receptor interactions, and the relationship between drug concentration and effect.

  • Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs): Unintended, harmful responses to medications that occur at normal doses. They can be predictable (Type A) or unpredictable (Type B).

  • Therapeutic Index (TI): A ratio that measures a drug's safety, calculated as the toxic dose (TD50) divided by the effective dose (ED50). A higher TI indicates a safer drug.
