Is Pharmacology Difficult Podcast INTRODUCTION/LAUNCH EPISODE

Welcome all to IS PHARMACOLOGY DIFFICULT Podcast! I am Dr Radhika
Vijay, I welcome you all to. History is history, Prehistorically
people used crude drugs, substances to cure their ailments,
diseases, etc. They superstitiously believed that most of the
diseases were due to excess of bile and blood in body. Slowly,
eventually, scientific belief and observation took over this old
school of thought. In 18th century in British continent, literature
evolved as a product of many experiments etc, the old book evolved
is named as "Materia medica". Its a pioneer in literature in this
subject. Still theoretical basis and hypothesis lacked to describe
mechanism of action and true nature of drugs. Pioneering in this
field was done by Francois Magendie, Claude Bernard, Rudolf
Buccheim and Oswald Schiemedberg in variety of manner. From then
till date, there has been revolutionary changes in this field.
Pharmacology is broken in greek terms, Pharmacon and Logos. its the
study of chemical substances that alter mechanism in living beings
through chemical processes by binding to the regulatory molecules.
Further I will be describing more aspects of this branch of
science, and its coverage widespread to affect living systems of
humans and animals, also drug use, drug effects, etc.Finally I will
derive a proper definition for the term "PHARMACOLOGY", leaving a
quest to know more especially about the term "Drug", but that will
unfold another story in another episode. With these remarks, i mark
