Pharmacology: the study of interaction of drugs with living systems. Where is the molecular site of action? What are the body function changes caused by a drug (pharmacodynamics)? What is the relationship between the Dose vs. Effect? How does a drug produce its effect? What is the fate of the drug once it enters the body (pharmacokinetics)?

Pharmacology is the science of drugs and medications, [1] including a substance's origin, composition, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, therapeutic use, and toxicology. More specifically, it is the study of the interactions that occur between a living organism and chemicals that affect normal or abnormal biochemical function. [2]

2022年4月13日 · Pharmacology (Gr. pharmakon - a drug or poison, logos - word or discourse) is the science dealing with actions of drugs on the body (pharmacodynamics) and the fate of drugs in the body (pharmacokinetics).

2024年12月31日 · Pharmacology, branch of medicine that deals with the interaction of drugs with the systems and processes of living animals, in particular, the mechanisms of drug action as well as the therapeutic and other uses of the drug.

2017年10月25日 · Pharmacology is the study of the action of drugs on living systems – neatly paraphrased as the chemical control of physiology and pathology. It lies at the interface of chemistry and biology.

Pharmacology is the study of how medicines work and how they affect our bodies. The word ‘pharmacology’ comes from the ancient Greek words pharmakon (meaning ‘drug’) and logia (meaning ’knowledge of’).

2025年2月14日 · Pharmacology is a branch of biomedical science, encompassing clinical pharmacology, that is concerned with the effects of drugs/pharmaceuticals and other xenobiotics on living systems, as...

In the broadest sense, pharmacology is the study of how chemical agents, both natural and synthetic (i.e., drugs) affect biological systems. This encompasses investigation of the derivation, chemical properties, physiological and behavioral effects, mechanisms of action, biological transformations, and the therapeutic and non-therapeutic uses ...

Pharmacology is the study of the effects of drugs on living organisms where a drug can be broadly defined as any chemical substance, natural or synthetic, that affects a biological system. Studies may involve how organisms handle drugs, mechanism of drug action, drug toxicity, the use of drugs as tools to delineate biological processes during ...
