Pharmacology

Pharmacology is the study of the effects of drugs on living organisms, where the term 'drug' can be defined as a chemical substance, natural or synthetic, which affects a biological system.

Knowledge of pharmacology and its associated concepts is fundamental to the safe and effective use of medicines by health professionals. It's also essential for the identification of new therapeutic targets and their pharmacological modulation, and can lead to increased understanding of human physiology.

An understanding of the way in which drugs produce their effects is becoming increasingly important as the use and abuse of drugs becomes more widespread in society.
