Pharmacology basics This chapter focuses on the fundamental principles of pharmacology. It discusses basic information, such as how drugs are named and how they’re created. It also discusses the different routes by which drugs can be administered. Kinetics, dynamics, therapeutics This chapter also discusses what happens when a drug enters the body. This involves three main areas: pharmacokinetics (the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of a drug) pharmacodynamics (the biochemical and physical effects of drugs and the mechanisms of drug actions) pharmacotherapeutics (the use of drugs to prevent and treat diseases). In addition, the chapter provides an introduction to drug interactions and adverse drug reactions.

The clinical treatments described and recommended in
this publication are based on research and consultation
with nursing, medical, and legal authorities. To the best
of our knowledge, these procedures reflect currently
accepted practice. Nevertheless, they can’t be
considered absolute and universal recommendations.
For individual applications, all recommendations must
be considered in light of the patient’s clinical condition
and, before administration of new or infrequently used
drugs, in light of the latest package-insert information.
The authors and publisher disclaim any responsibility
for any adverse effects resulting from the suggested
procedures, from any undetected errors, or from the
reader’s misunderstanding of the text.
