 ASPET - About Pharmacology
Clinical pharmacology is the study of pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics in human beings.
Behavioral pharmacology studies the effects of drugs on behavior.
Research includes topics such as the effects of psychoactive drugs on the phenomena of learning, memory, wakefulness, sleep, and drug addiction, and the behavioral consequences of experimental intervention in enzyme activity and brain neurotransmitter levels and metabolism.

 U of M: Pharmacology: Graduate Program: What is Pharmacology.
Pharmacology is the study of how drugs exert their effects on living systems.
Pharmacy, often confused with pharmacology, is a wholly separate profession concerned with the preparation, dispensing and use of medications.
Whereas pharmacy can be viewed as a profession that is part of health care delivery and information systems, pharmacology is a basic biomedical scientific discipline.

 Pharmacology
The second-year course in pharmacology introduces the student to the scientific basis for the use of drugs in medical practice and the essential principles of clinical pharmacology.
The fourth-year clinical pharmacology course extends fundamental knowledge of drug action to practical problems of therapy, based on the student's own clinical experiences to date.
Since it is impossible to learn about each of the several thousand prescription drugs currently available, the course concentrates on selected prototype drugs and on general pharmacologic principles that govern the action of all drugs on the body.

 ICH Guidance for Industry - S7A Safety Pharmacology Studies for Human Pharmaceuticals
General pharmacology studies were originally referred to as those designed to examine effects other than the primary therapeutic effect of a drug candidate.
Safety pharmacology studies with the finished product formulations should be conducted only for formulations that substantially alter the pharmacokinetics and/or pharmacodynamics of the active substance in comparison to formulations previously tested (i.e., through active excipients such as penetration enhancers, liposomes, and other changes such as polymorphism).
Safety pharmacology studies were focused on identifying adverse effects on physiological functions.

 Pharmacology - Department of Pharmacology
The main goals of the Department of Pharmacology are to improve therapy with the use of genetic-genomic information, leading to individualized medicine, and early therapy or prevention.
Rather than applying the concept of one-drug-fits-all, pharmacogenomics aims to optimize therapy for the individual patient- on the basis of genetic profiles that determine susceptibility to disease and response to therapy.
This will allow the design of new drug treatments, and more importantly, early intervention or even prevention - an area of medicine with the greatest promise for improving and maintaining health.Cellular and Molecular Pharmacology

 A brief history of pharmacology
Pharmacology depends largely on experiments conducted in laboratory animals, but even the human animal may be used as a test subject.
Pharmacology is similar to medicinal chemistry in that it has developed a vast array of techniques, both general and specialized.
Building on its past, the ongoing progress of pharmacology supports its critical role in modern drug discovery and augurs well for the future.
