Pharmacodynamics and Pharmacokinetics


The major study in pharmacology is how drug reacts to body? (Pharmacodynamics) And what body does to the drugs? (Pharmacokinetics). Here detailed understanding of Agonist and Antagonist is required. 


Where binding of drug to receptor molecule induces the chemicals signal against the antigens, here the Drug Posology should be exact enough to induce the process and also Drug concentration within the body should be maintained for complete destruction of antigens. The drug resistance is developed when improper concentration level within the body and also due to uptake of Over-the-counter drugs. Before binding of drug molecule the Drug specificity and Affinity should be evaluated for particular receptor. In pharmacokinetics the binding of drugs to receptor & Regulator mechanism should be evaluated along with ADME (Adsorption, Distribution, Metabolism and Excretion) process. In Pharmacodynamics concerned with effect and Mechanism of drug action which is now advanced by application of nanotechnology.

Nowadays people started to prefer Biologics rather than that of Drugs.

Pharma and Health Care

Image
In recent years, there are many disputes going between Pharma and Healthcare organisation which will have impact on the sick people. Effective and cheap health promoting activities are supported by industry because they are not patented and low-cost. As the result most affected are the sick, poverty-stricken and the minimum educated ones, free market successes appear to pose unsolvable challenges to justice in social public health. The major factor is Advertising Drugs and Selling Sickness. Public advertising gets increasingly powerful using aggressive direct-to-consumer marketing, payments to celebrities for appearing on TV shows and telling about their illnesses and cures, and sophisticated targeting of consumer groups that will then effectively lobby insurers and regulators for the industry’s causes A most remarkable tactic for expanding drug markets is “disease mongering,” i.e., trying to convince essentially well people that they are sick by medicalization of tr

Food Toxicology

Image
The Toxicology is the branch of science that deals with the adverse effects of chemicals on living organisms and leads to fatal condition in living organism. Toxicology is interface of chemistry and biology.   – Pharmacology: therapeutic effect   – Toxicology: toxicosis or disease effect Food toxicology deals with physical, chemical and biological properties of food particles and detection of toxic substances in food, and their diseases and infections. Some food items are poisonous and some are medicinal , stimulatory, hallucinatory, or narcotic effects. Toxicology in two categories: basic and Fundamental. Fundamental work on the molecular and biological processes of toxic substances is called Basic toxicology. Applying scientific knowledge to practical problems is called Applied Toxicology. Toxicology vs. Risk analysis: In majority of Risk analysis only the applied toxicology is used to examine whether there is the presence of chemical, natural and anthropogeni

Role of Nanotechnology in Pharmacology

Image
Nanotechnology overcomes many challenges in the field of pharmacology . The Nano-sized materials are designed and fabricated to carry the drugs to the targeted region and further released drug concentration will be more in the target location. Nano-particles are used for both treatment and diagnosis. Many nanomaterials are patented and used for analysis, detection and treatment of the diseases. Nanotechnology devises application is used in the field of medicine and leads to the development of various Nanomedicines; used in the diagnosis and treatment of various disease. The Nanomedicine leads to the better path in the human life.Diagnostic Nanomachines could be employed to monitor the internal chemistry of the body. Mobile nanoparticles are used to circulate in blood and lymph nodes to find out abnormalities and signal will be passed by them. Nanomaterials are implanted in the human body whoever has a chronic deficiency to induce the drug release and also helps in secreting
