Is Pharmacology Difficult Podcast BRANCHES/DIVISIONS OF PHARMACOLOGY-2

Welcome all to IS PHARMACOLOGY DIFFICULT Podcast! I am Dr Radhika Vijay. Do you know What is exactly Chemotherapy? What do you study in Clinical Pharmacology?Why Pharmacoepidemiology is so important? All these questions will be answered to the best of your knowledge and satisfaction in today's episode. Chemotherapy term was initially limited to drug effect upon microorganisms/parasites which are living/multiplying found in living organisms. Drugs possess selective toxicity for infecting organism or malignant cell at the same time, host stays unaffected. These drugs can be either pharmacodynamically effective or simply chemotherapeutic agents targeting only malignant cell or infective organism sparing the host. Secondly, I will be talking about Clinical Pharmacology, it mainly covers clinical use of drugs, evaluation done in both diseased and non diseased patients. Useful insights are gained about drug potency, efficacy, appropriate use, dose and adverse effects of drugs. Many other aspects are covered in this field also which I will tell you. I will be summarizing key aspects and importance of Clinical Pharmacology. A bonus set of information about one last branch for the day will be spoken about by me too. The name of branch is "Pharmacoepidemiology" In this is studied effect of drugs on population. Until and unless not widely used by population, risk benefit ratio of drug cannot be determined, that is what marks the importance of this branch More such important and informative branches will be discussed in next upcoming episodes that really ought to be known as a part/branch /subdivision of pharmacology.
