Is Pharmacology Difficult Podcast SOURCES OF DRUG INFORMATION-1

Welcome all to IS PHARMACOLOGY DIFFICULT Podcast! I am Dr Radhika
Vijay. How Drug therapy evolved? What are the sources of drug
information? Responses to these fireshot questions will be given in
today's episode. Ancient Mesopotamian, Indian, Chinese, Egyptian
records emphasized the disease nature to be something supernatural,
a bad omen, Then greek mythology of four humors of body changed
this belief and made patient the main focus. Development of science
in a rapid manner proved all diseases affected different organs, so
this lead to the main centre of research to be disease. Then came
Microscope invention, all in all importance of drug therapy was
gaining importance and demanded in depth knowledge and clinical
skill and expertise. Drugs could prove both harmful and useful.
Next I will be shifting my discussions towards Sources of Drug
Information , I would broadly classify these in Primary, Secondary
and Tertiary. Primary being original source of information.
Secondary referring to review articles. tertiary is nothing but mix
of both, summary embedded in text format. I will be giving a
valuable tip to do research or find a query response, it goes as,
start from tertiary to secondary to primary , i.e. backway or
reverse order and it will maximise your quest in a simplified,
easy, convenient and organised manner. With this great tip to
study, research and memorise, I will be hinting the next episode
content and call it for the day. For all the updates and latest
