Overview :
1. Pharmacology is an interdisciplinary field that touches nearly every other area of medicine and explores many aspects of drugs starting from drug discovery and development including its efficacy and safety providing a significant positive impact on human health.
2. The scientific knowledge gained through pharmacologic studies provides a foundation for a number of medical treatments.
3. The discipline of pharmacology is distinct from the profession of pharmacy which addresses more of the formulation and dispensing of drugs for human use.
4. Pharmacologists, however, focus on how drugs (both chemical and biological molecules) interact with biological systems.
