Department of Pharmacology

The Department of Pharmacology focuses on the scientific study of drugs and their effects on living systems, particularly the human body. Pharmacology forms the core link between basic pharmaceutical sciences and clinical application, enabling students to understand how drugs produce therapeutic effects and how they can also cause adverse reactions.

The curriculum emphasizes key concepts such as mechanism of drug action, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, drug metabolism, toxicity, and drug interactions. Students are trained to evaluate both the beneficial and harmful effects of drugs, promoting the rational and safe use of medicines.

The department also covers critical topics including adverse drug reactions (ADRs), drug safety monitoring, dose optimization, and ethical use of medicines. Practical training enhances understanding through experimental models, simulations, and case-based learning approaches.

The Department of Pharmacology plays an essential role in preparing D.Pharm and B.Pharm students for careers in healthcare, pharmaceutical industries, regulatory bodies, and academics. By emphasizing patient safety, ethical practices, and scientific reasoning, the department develops professionals capable of contributing meaningfully to healthcare delivery and drug development.
