Pharmacology

The Department of Pharmacology is dedicated to the study of drugs and their effects on living organisms. It focuses on understanding the mechanisms of drug action, therapeutic uses, adverse effects, interactions, and safe administration of medicines in the prevention and treatment of diseases.

Pharmacology forms an important bridge between basic medical sciences and clinical practice by providing comprehensive knowledge about the rational use of drugs. The department emphasizes the principles of pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, toxicology, and clinical therapeutics to help students and healthcare professionals understand appropriate drug selection and prescription practices.

The department also promotes awareness regarding safe medication practices, adverse drug reactions, and evidence-based treatment approaches. Through academic teaching, practical training, and research activities, students gain a detailed understanding of modern pharmacological concepts and their applications in patient care.
