Is Pharmacology Difficult Podcast BRANCHES/DIVISIONS OF PHARMACOLOGY-3

Welcome all to IS PHARMACOLOGY DIFFICULT Podcast! I am Dr Radhika Vijay. What is the first thing or picture strikes you when you hear terms familiar something like Pharmacognosy, Pharmacogenetics or Pharmacy, etc. You might have heard these so important and many more like these, I will tell you about these and all familiar important branches of pharmacology today. Talking firstly about Pharmacognosy, its the study of drug sources, it also covers identification of drugs from different sources like animal and plant origin. Second, Pharmacogenetics is study of differences/ variations and resulting changes in drug responses and drug metabolism, which can occur at individual and/or at population level.Depending on sensitivity of individual, what is developed is individual Drug therapy. Right example at right time explains the whole story well! Next word of thought is all dedicated to details about Pharmacogenomics in which genomic technology is used to explore more drug characteristics, a good  example  tells it all....Next set of information is all about Pharmacoeconomics, centred around cost effectiveness of drug and drug therapy. As I approach the end talks, I will disclose my real talks about practical aspect of the subject too, about Pharmacy, in disguise I will spill over discussion focus towards Pharmaceutics. Then I will shift the conversation string towards Clinical Pharmacy and Closing words will sing songs about Biopharmaceutics. I will give you a second to recollect and count the number of branches I told you all about today, give a try! Its countable on fingers, I am sure! With an indication to talk something different, new, crispy next time, I will call it for the day!
