Pharmacology

The field of biomedical research that focuses on the origins, compositions, effects, modes of action, and therapeutic applications of pharmaceuticals is called pharmacology.

Pharmacokinetics, which studies how medications are absorbed, distributed, metabolised, and eliminated by the body.

Pharmacodynamics, which studies how drugs interact with biological systems to generate effects, are its two primary subfields. By bridging the fields of chemistry, biology, and medicine, pharmacology makes it possible to create novel illness treatments. It is necessary to ensure the safety and efficacy of medications. Chemists create new drugs, adjust doses, and look at adverse effects to improve patient care and advance medical research.
