Is Pharmacology Difficult Podcast BRANCHES/DIVISIONS OF PHARMACOLOGY-3

Welcome all to IS PHARMACOLOGY DIFFICULT Podcast! I am Dr Radhika
Vijay. What is the first thing or picture strikes you when you hear
terms familiar something like Pharmacognosy, Pharmacogenetics or
Pharmacy, etc. You might have heard these so important and many
more like these, I will tell you about these and all familiar
important branches of pharmacology today. Talking firstly about
Pharmacognosy, its the study of drug sources, it also covers
identification of drugs from different sources like animal and
plant origin. Second, Pharmacogenetics is study of differences/
variations and resulting changes in drug responses and drug
metabolism, which can occur at individual and/or at population
level.Depending on sensitivity of individual, what is developed is
individual Drug therapy. Right example at right time explains the
whole story well! Next word of thought is all dedicated to details
about Pharmacogenomics in which genomic technology is used to
explore more drug characteristics, a good example tells it
all....Next set of information is all about Pharmacoeconomics,
centred around cost effectiveness of drug and drug therapy. As I
approach the end talks, I will disclose my real talks about
practical aspect of the subject too, about Pharmacy, in disguise I
will spill over discussion focus towards Pharmaceutics. Then I will
shift the conversation string towards Clinical Pharmacy and Closing
words will sing songs about Biopharmaceutics. I will give you a
second to recollect and count the number of branches I told you all
about today, give a try! Its countable on fingers, I am sure! With
an indication to talk something different, new, crispy next time, I
will call it for the day! For all the updates and latest episodes
