Description

The study of medications and their effects on living systems, or what is frequently referred to as "drug actions," is the focus of the scientific field of pharmacology. It is important to understand what a drug is, how it affects our physical, emotional, and psychological health, the type of drug being taken, the routes of administration, how the drug is absorbed, and the characteristics of the person using the drug in order to fully comprehend this. Doctors are held in high regard by the public since they have been one of humanity's greatest providers of services. Therefore, it is the doctors' job to maintain a high level of quality and standard in the delivery of medical care. Pharmacogenetics and pharmacogenomics are frequently used interchangeably. While pharmacogenetics concentrates on single drug-gene interactions and pharmacogenomics encompasses a more genome-wide association approach, incorporating genomics and epigenetics while dealing with the effects of multiple genes on drug response, the two terms are related to drug response based on genetic influences. This book encourages logical thought among students and broadens the body of scientific knowledge.
