Is Pharmacology Difficult Podcast BRANCHES/DIVISIONS OF PHARMACOLOGY-2

Welcome all to IS PHARMACOLOGY DIFFICULT Podcast! I am Dr Radhika
Vijay. Do you know What is exactly Chemotherapy? What do you study
in Clinical Pharmacology?Why Pharmacoepidemiology is so important?
All these questions will be answered to the best of your knowledge
and satisfaction in today's episode. Chemotherapy term was
initially limited to drug effect upon microorganisms/parasites
which are living/multiplying found in living organisms. Drugs
possess selective toxicity for infecting organism or malignant cell
at the same time, host stays unaffected. These drugs can be either
pharmacodynamically effective or simply chemotherapeutic agents
targeting only malignant cell or infective organism sparing the
host. Secondly, I will be talking about Clinical Pharmacology, it
mainly covers clinical use of drugs, evaluation done in both
diseased and non diseased patients. Useful insights are gained
about drug potency, efficacy, appropriate use, dose and adverse
effects of drugs. Many other aspects are covered in this field also
which I will tell you. I will be summarizing key aspects and
importance of Clinical Pharmacology. A bonus set of information
about one last branch for the day will be spoken about by me too.
The name of branch is "Pharmacoepidemiology" In this is studied
effect of drugs on population. Until and unless not widely used by
population, risk benefit ratio of drug cannot be determined, that
is what marks the importance of this branch More such important and
informative branches will be discussed in next upcoming episodes
that really ought to be known as a part/branch /subdivision of
pharmacology. For all the updates and latest episodes of my
