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,
inflammation and gout, Drugs acting in the central nervous system, Endocrine
Drugs, Chemotherapeutic Agents, Toxicology, Prescription writing and rational
use of drugs.

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.

This book presents Pharmacogenetic examples from a broad spectrum of
different drugs, for different diseases, which are representative of different
stages of evaluation or application. It has been designed so as to serve both
the unfamiliar reader through explanations of basic Pharmacogenetic concepts,
the clinician with presentation of the latest developments and international
guidelines, and the research scientist with examples of Pharmacogenetic
applications, discussions on the limitations and an outlook on the new
scientific trends in this field.
This guide will help you understand the relationship between
drugs, the body, and behavior and allow you to better evaluate drug use and
abuse, including use by you and your loved ones. It will increase your awareness
of controversies in the drugs field and enable you to make better decisions,
backed by critical thinking, when you face personal or social issues concerning
the use of drugs in the future.
This book considers the basic principles of biopharmaceutics and
pharmacokinetics. It also illustrates clinical pharmacokinetic applications,
such as recirculatory models, common antimalarial drugs, and clinical
pharmacokinetic principles in critically ill patients, which are essential for
medical professionals.
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.
The object of the
course note is to teach students an approach to the study of pharmacologic
agents. It is not intended to be a review of the pharmacopoeia. The focus is on
the basic principles of biophysics, biochemistry and physiology, as related to
the mechanisms of drug action, biodistribution and metabolism.
