Introduction to pharmacology

Introduction to pharmacology covers the basic principles that govern how drugs interact with the body, including drug classification, mechanisms of action, and the importance of dose-response relationships. Mastering these concepts is essential for understanding subsequent modules on therapeutic drug use, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics, and for answering exam questions that test foundational knowledge.
