Pharmacology is the branch of medical science that studies drugs, their sources, chemical properties, biological effects, and therapeutic uses. It plays a central role in understanding how medicines interact with the body (pharmacodynamics) and how the body processes them (pharmacokinetics). By bridging basic sciences like physiology, biochemistry, and pathology with clinical practice, pharmacology helps in the safe and effective use of medications for prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases. Knowledge of pharmacology is essential for healthcare professionals to make informed decisions about drug selection, dosage, adverse effects, and interactions, ultimately ensuring better patient care.
