Department of Pharmacology

Pharmacology is essential and important branch of Pharmaceutical Sciences and health care. In Pharmacology how chemical agents, both natural and synthetic (i.e., drugs) affect biological systems. Pharmacological studies can determine the effects of chemical agents upon subcellular, systemic, physiological or behavioural processes; focus on the treatment and prevention of diseases; or deal with the potential hazards of pesticides and herbicides. Pharmacology is exciting because, it needs application of knowledge of many other subjects such as anatomy, physiology and biochemistry and make student truly understand what happens when a drug enters the body and what exactly the drug does to all the different systems within the body.In this course, we always relate these fundamental principles back to the patient, so the student can see the bigger picture and how the basic concepts are applied in the practice of medicine.
