    What you need to know about Pharmacology

    Pharmacology, a field at the intersection of biology and chemistry, delves into the effects and production of medical drugs, encompassing both natural and synthetic compounds to prevent, treat, or cure illnesses.

    In a Bachelor’s or Master’s program, students cover a range of topics, including drugs and society, basic human pharmacology, pharmacological techniques, general biology, immunology, and pharmacokinetics.

    Future pharmacologists engage in research to discover and evaluate new drugs, mitigate the side effects of existing medications, and comprehend variations in individual responses to the same drug. Proficiency in advanced biology and chemistry is complemented by skills in attention to detail, problem-solving, laboratory procedures, and analytical reporting.

    Pharmacologists can specialize further in branches like Clinical Pharmacology, Cardiovascular Pharmacology, Psychopharmacology, or Veterinary Pharmacology. It's crucial to note that Pharmacology differs from Pharmacy, as the latter focuses on drug preparation, dispensing, and providing guidance to individuals.
