PHARMACOLOGY INDIVIDUAL ASSIGNMENT

COLLEGE OF MEDICINE AND HEALTH SCIENCE


TITLE: Summarization on some concepts of pharmacology
 Drug is any substance (other than food) that is used to prevent , diagnose, treat, or relieve symptoms of a
disease or abnormal condition and all about drug is studied under the pharmacology.
 Pharmacology is the scientific study of how drugs interact with biological systems and how they affect the
body.
 According to pharmacology drugs can be act by two mechanisms.
1. Pharmacokinetics (PK) is the study of how drugs move through the body, including how they are
absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and excreted. It involves studying the time course of drug
absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME), and how these processes are affected by
various factors such as dose, route of administration, and other medications or substances in the
body.
2. Pharmacodynamics is the study of what a drug does to the body, including how it interacts with
receptors or other target molecules to produce its effects. It involves the study of the biochemical
and physiological effects of drugs on an organism , including the mechanism of action and dose-
response relationships.
 And those drugs are existed in different sources of drugs like: Minerals (eg.liquid paraffin), Animals
(eg.insulin, heparin), Plants (eg.morphine, digoxin), Synthetic (eg.Aspirin, paracetamol), Micro
organisms(eg.penicillin) and can be formed by Genetic engineering (eg.human insulin, human growth
hormone).
 Characteristics of drugs can be vary widely depending on types of drugs, uses of drugs etc. But some main
characteristics of drugs are:
 The effects of drugs can vary depending on dosage, route of administration, and individual factors such as
age, weight, and overall health.
 Some drugs are addictive and can lead to physical and psychological dependence when abused.
 Many drugs can interact with other medications or substances, which can affect their effectiveness or
increase the risk of side effects..
 Risks associated with drug abuse include overdose, addiction, long-term health consequences, and social
and legal consequences. etc.
 The administration of the drugs can be done through: Enteral Route (Oral, Sublingual, Buccal, Rectal),
Parenteral Route (intestinal mucosa, Intravenous (IV), Intramuscular (IM), Subcutaneous (SC), Intradermal
(ID), Intrathecal (IT), Intraarticular (IA)), Transdermal, Inhalation, Topical etc.
 Also Interms clinical pharmacokinetics all drugs have a different parameters such as: Clearance, Volume
of distribution, Elimination half-life, Bioavailability.
 Generally drugs are chemical substances that can have significant impacts on the body and mind. Drug
misuse and addiction can be serious problems and appropriate policies and interventions are needed to
address them. In addition, it is important to ensure accurate and reliable information is provided to
prevent drug-related issues. Overall, drugs remain a complex and multifaceted topic that requires careful
consideration and action from individuals and authorities alike.
