Pharmacology (MBBS India)

Pharmacology (MBBS India)

by Pravin Shukle, MD, Rhonda Lawes, PhD, RN
Pharmacology is the branch of medicine concerned with studying the composition, uses, effects, and modes of action of drugs, especially with relation to their therapeutic value. The concept of a special compound or preparation being administered with the intent of producing a therapeutic effect was very prevalent in the ancient world, in almost all healer traditions. Today, pharmacology is a broad field of study, with many areas of focus, including inflammation, antimicrobials, immunomodulators, chemotherapeutic drugs for
the treatment of cancer, and more.

In this course, the student will be given a tour of the basic concepts of pharmacology and the different drug families used in different clinical scenarios. Additionally, the student will be given an introduction to the basics of dosage calculation.

For optimal comprehension, the student is required to have a solid grasp of chemistry, biochemistry, physiology, and pathology.

Drugs are a crucial asset in a physician's therapeutic arsenal. A solid grasp of pharmacology allows one to manage or even cure thousands of conditions. From choosing the correct antibiotic for a specific infection, or correcting a hormonal imbalance, to avoiding life-threatening drug interactions. The study of pharmacology is the basis of therapeutic medicine.

A nice summary
By Mirşah S. on 21. July 2024 for Cardiovascular Pharmacology

I really liked lecture materiales like editing of video and pdfs. But I think if I didn’t know the lesson before. I wouldnt learn here first time. Because ?t’s like a summary. It’s such a good way to remember the lesson. But for first time not that much. I think its matter of style.

 
Finally!
By Amy B. on 26. June 2024 for Ratio and Proportion with Medications: In a Nutshell (Nursing)

Finally feel like I understand ratios! Taking the medication out of the equations to start really helped me to understand the math before applying it to dosage calculations. Thank you.
