jor Objectives of Project: The primary objectives of this project are to help students make better links between scientific and nursing knowledge, and make clinical applications based on this knowledge. The innovative approach involved two frameworks: a. A knowledge of the drug families; b. An understanding of the clinical decision making process. The drug family framework involves grouping specific drugs according to common mechanisms of action. Instead of learning about long lists of sp...

Integrating knowledge in many related scientific disciplines, pharmacology offers a unique perspective to solving drug, hormone, and chemical-related problems as they impinge on human health. As it unlocks the mysteries of drug actions, discovers new therapies, and develops new medicinal products, pharmacology inevitably touches all our lives. While remarkable progress has been made in developing new drugs and in understanding how they act, the challenges that remain are endless. Ongoing...

Pharmacology is a medical science that forms a backbone of the medical profession as drugs form the corner stone of therapy in human diseases. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to describe the pharmacological basis of therapeutics in order to maximize the benefits and minimize the risks of drugs to recipients. This lecture note on pharmacology is primarily a note for undergraduate health science students such as health officer, nursing, midwifery and laboratory technology students. Howe...

s the science dealing with biochemical and physiologic aspects of drug effects, including absorption, distribution, metabolism, elimination, toxicity doses, and specific mechanisms of drug action. Pharmacology includes three major divisions: theoretical (general), experimental, and clinical. Theoretical pharmacology touches upon common regularities of interactions of drugs with an organism. Experimental pharmacology investigates drugs influence on the organism of animals. Clinical pharmaco...
