<p><strong>Pharmacology</strong> is the branch of science that deals with how drugs interact with the body and how the body responds to them. It is the examination of the interactions between a living organism and chemicals that affect normal or abnormal biochemicals functions. In simple terms, it is all about understanding how medicines work with the body. </p><p><span style='background-color: transparent; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;'><br/></span></p><p><span style='background-color: transparent; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;'>But Pharmacology goes far beyond just drugs. It is about people, diseases, healing, and safety. It helps us answer questions like:</span></p><p><ul><li><em style='background-color: transparent; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;'>Why do we take certain drugs for a headache and different one for an infection?</em></li><li><em style='background-color: transparent; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;'>How long does a drug stay in the body?</em></li><li><em style='background-color: transparent; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;'>Why does one drug work for one person but not another?.......and so on.</em></li></ul></p><p><span style='background-color: transparent; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;'><br/></span></p><p><span style='background-color: transparent; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;'>A big part of Pharmacology lies in the two main branches which are:</span></p><p><ol><li><span style='background-color: transparent; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;'><strong>Pharmacokinetics</strong> which is known as the ADME (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion) of drugs and their relationship with the onset, duration, and intensity of the drug effect.
