Synopsis

General Pharmacology

General Pharmacology is the foundational discipline within pharmaceutical sciences that explores the interactions between drugs and biological systems. It encompasses the principles of pharmacokinetics (how the body processes drugs) and pharmacodynamics (how drugs affect the body), along with drug sources, mechanisms of action, and therapeutic applications.

Key areas include:

  • Drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME)
  • Mechanisms of drug action via receptors and enzymes
  • Classification of drugs based on origin, structure, and function
  • Routes of administration and dosage forms
  • Adverse drug reactions, toxicity, and drug interactions
  • Pharmacogenomics and personalized medicine

General Pharmacology serves as the basis for clinical pharmacology, toxicology, and therapeutics, guiding rational drug use and safe treatment strategies across medical disciplines.
