Pharmacology is
the study of interaction of drugs with living organisms. It also includes
history, source, physicochemical properties, dosage forms, methods of
administration, absorption, distribution mechanism of action, biotransformation,
excretion, clinical uses and adverse effects of drugs. This PDF covers the
following topics related to Pharmacology : General pharmacology, Drugs acting on
autonomic nervous system, Cardiovascular-renal drugs, Autacoids and their
antagonists, Drugs Action on the Respiratory System, Drugs used in
Gastrointestinal Diseases, Drugs used to treat the diseases of blood,

Biopharmaceuticals are derived from biological sources,
either live organisms or their active components; nowadays, they are mainly
produced by biotechnologies. This book encompasses the discovery, production,
application, and regulation of biopharmaceuticals to demonstrate their research
achievement, prospects, and challenges.

The author does not
claim for the book that it is an exhaustive treatise on Pharmacology suitable
for advanced students of the subject, but that it may be found useful to the
ordinary medical students and also to the general practitioners who may use it
to review their medical school instruction. In this second edition the author
has attempted to incorporate all new facts in pharmacology or in pharmaco-therapy
which have been developed since the previous edition.
Pharmacology comprises some broad conceptions and
generalizations, and some detailed conclusions, of such great and practical importance that every
student and practitioner of medicine should be absolutely familiar with them. It
comprises also a large mass of minute details, idiich would constitute too great a tax on human memory, but which can not
safely be neglected. It is the ambition of this book to present both types of
information without confusion.
The intent of this book is to provide an overview of current
conceptualizations of Pharmacotherapy. The book focuses on three major areas;
diagnosis, treatment, and prevention for a wide array of diseases; Cognitive and
Psychological disorders (Schizophrenia and Nicotine addiction), Inflammatory
disorders (New Chemical anti-inflammatory and Immunotherapy), updated
antihypertensive therapy and healing of ulcers with venous origin.
This note provides the details about drugs and over-the-counter
medicines. This includes side effects, dosage, and special precautions. Also
contains the details about dietary supplements and herbal remedies to learn about their
effectiveness, usual dosage, and drug interactions.
Natural products are a constant source of potentially active
compounds for the treatment of various disorders.Plant derived secondary
metabolites have been used by humans to treat acute infections, health disorders
and chronic illness for tens of thousands of years. Only during the last 100
years have natural products been largely replaced by synthetic drugs.Books on
drug discovery will play vital role in the new era of disease treatment using
natural products.
