Pharmacology investigates and analyzes how drugs affect humans and animals. It focuses on therapeutic effects, how drugs work, their bodily processing, possible side effects, and interactions between medications. Physiology studies the mechanisms that govern and coordinate bodily systems in living organisms.
Fundamental physiological principles form the foundation of all biomedical disciplines. Studying drug mechanisms also offers insights into normal and disease-related biological processes. Graduate programs in pharmacology and physiology present stimulating research prospects for advanced study.
