Is Pharmacology Difficult Podcast BRANCHES/DIVISIONS OF PHARMACOLOGY-1

Welcome all to IS PHARMACOLOGY DIFFICULT Podcast! I am Dr Radhika
Vijay. Do you know about Poison? Is their study a part of
Pharmacology? What could be totally opposite branch? These queries
will be answered in today's episode. Let the talk commence..
Chemical actions can take place at two main levels, individual and
environment Individual effects occurring at intended organs produce
therapeutic effect while effects at unwanted target sites produce
toxic or harmful effects. In environment drug effects spread from
organism to other via food chain and toxicity accumulates. On
Individual level, the term for the branch is Medical Pharmacology
or Toxicology while its Environmental Toxicology at the other end.
Toxicology is a science of poisons. It is the branch of
Pharmacology dealing with unwanted, undesirable effects, rather
better to say, poisonous effects of drugs/chemicals which belong
household, industry, pollution, agriculture, etc. More interesting
aspects like poison detection, prevention and cure. Symptoms and
adverse effects are also considered. I would love to tell you two
famous drug quotes related to toxicology. Next I will be shifting
my centre of talks from Toxicology to Pharmacotherapeutics. This
branch deals with therapeutic and clinical application of subject
knowledge along with drug information to relieve the patient from
disease. Its a vaste field covering lot of shades like appropriate
drug dose, time duration, signs, symptoms and disease stage,
patient features and compliance and finally cure of disease. This
shift of talk is so relieving not only for me but surely for you
all too! with upcoming episode on more branches of pharmacology,
let me wave y'all a b'bye. For all the updates and latest episodes
