Pharmacology is
the study of interaction of drugs with living organisms. It also includes
history, source, physicochemical properties, dosage forms, methods of
administration, absorption, distribution mechanism of action, biotransformation,
excretion, clinical uses and adverse effects of drugs. This PDF covers the
following topics related to Pharmacology : General pharmacology, Drugs acting on
autonomic nervous system, Cardiovascular-renal drugs, Autacoids and their
antagonists, Drugs Action on the Respiratory System, Drugs used in

The authors of this book look from different
angles to hypertension, sharing their new knowledge and experience in the
direction of deep understanding and more clarification of the disease providing
an invaluable resource not only for clinicians, but also for all medical
sciences students and health providers.
This note serves as a
description and critical assessment of the major issues and stages of developing
a pharmaceutical or biopharmaceutical. Topics covered include drug discovery,
preclinical development, clinical investigation, manufacturing and regulatory
issues considered for small and large molecules, and economic and financial
considerations of the drug development process.

The author does not
claim for the book that it is an exhaustive treatise on Pharmacology suitable
for advanced students of the subject, but that it may be found useful to the
ordinary medical students and also to the general practitioners who may use it
to review their medical school instruction. In this second edition the author
has attempted to incorporate all new facts in pharmacology or in pharmaco-therapy
which have been developed since the previous edition.
This book provides selected but
vital information on the sources, tools, technologies and regulations regarding
the current status of medicine development.
Pharmacology
is the study of the changes induced in living organisms by the administration in
