Pharmacology involves the study of the drug action on the body. It includes finding out how a particular drug produces beneficial and adverse effects on the body. Pharmacologists aim to develop a better understanding of drugs and their actions on biological systems for the improvement of human health.
An undergraduate student of pharmacy always faces problem in understanding the subject because of unproven disease mechanism and lengthy language. In an attempt to remedy this, texts of this book are given in point wise and in precise manner along with illustrations whenever is necessary which will help the student in understanding and remembering the text.
The book covers the brief pathophysiology, updated classification of drug, pharmacokinetic profile, pharmacological actions, adverse effects, contraindications, drug interaction and uses in detail for each drug. The text cover the disease mechanism whenever is necessary which will help to understand treatment module. For exam point of view a book also covers the important questions at the beginning and at the end of each chapter. I have hoped that this book of pharmacology will simplify the subject for the students of pharmacology.
